I have still yet to get an alignment bc I have to install the front M3 thrust and control arms soon. To my eye it looks like I am running at least two degrees of negative camber. ? And I also have new HD tie rods to install soon. But I feel that the increased negative camber from the Dinan camber plates, helped enormously to reduce the car's understeer.
Years ago when people first started to install the M3 suspension before the 1M came out... most guys said the rear M3 hubs/knuckles didn't do a whole lot. That's why everyone just installs those four M3 links in the rear. I know on my car just installing those four rear links worked wonders for how my car handles.

Yeah, I didn’t even bother doing the wishbones (#17,) since they’re functionally identical to O.E. (M3 just look better and are a little lighter,) and I used third party toe arms to get rid of the O.E. soft bushings.
