OK, i thought this would be best place to post my question since you track people would know a lot more on Suspension wise..

Anyhow, i have FK/Koni's Coilovers i have my car dropped I am having alignment problem and my mechanic says i need an aftermarket camber plates in order to have it aligned correctly. SO my question is what Camber plates would i need specific brand that would work with my type of suspension and what other parts would i need as well to help better align my car.. as of right now car is swirving to right... :( .. anyhow any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance..

Whats the exact problem he is having with aligning it? Not able to get enough camber from being lowered so much?

if its lowered too much...raise the ride height, it should not be that low, unless you want terrible handling.

ok, it not lowered as much.. it is lowered to where it eliminates the gap and not sacrafice clearence.. Mechanic mention its hard to adjust the plates since its lowered and i would think into investing for some aftermarket plates to help better the job of alignment.. And i did some searching around the forums, and found that most people recomend changing out camber plates when having a dropped suspension.. so i assume i would have to do the same ?

I dont think camber plates will solve much, what are your toe measurement and camber measurements?

Camber or caster what is the problem?

You can try low strut mount spacers, to increase negative camber.
Do you have the M3 offset control arm mounts?
