Following. I would like to know how much camber can be gained with these. I was hoping for an option that was was less pricey than camber plates though...

We still don't have that data from SPL.

Perhaps an email to them directly will speed up the process.

Are these SPL tension rods a suitable replacement for the BMW F8x tension struts that are often paired with the F8x control arm on the 2er?

Yes, but you will need to add spacers to make it work since M control arms at the frame side is narrower.

Just spoke to SPL. The F2x and F3x version of the adjustable tension arm is being worked on. Shouldn't be long.

F2x and F3x lower control arms have not been released yet so we don't have any data.

Updated with the correct street version of the lower control arms for the F2x and F3x.

SPL has also increased its coverage for the F2x and F3x chassis.

Well this is him talking about installing the front and rear SPL suspension parts.

But he also gives a shout out to SPL in his Ig after his run at the GTA Finals.

M parts = sports car??
SPL parts = race car???

Thanks for posting the video!

SPL parts are mostly rod ends and should be reserved for a track car.

The monoball bearing for the thrust arm is liveable on the street and so are the street version of the lower control arms in this thread.

These have been around for a little while now, have you managed to get any data on the negative camber adjustment range they provide?
