Thanks for the report, good info. Is this clutch the 240mm unit? Is this the spec billlet flywheel that has been discussed in previous threads as forthcoming?

As for your comments on camber, there is no adjustment with the dinan plates, what you get is what you get. I agree with you that it's a pretty decent set up for a mostly street, occasional track car.
thanks!

Motatti,
Yes and Yes. 240mm and Billet Flywheel. I *can* adjust camber, I believe you cannot adjust castor (in the rear).

Thanks everyone!

Maybe i'm misunderstanding something here, but are you saying you have dinan front camber plates and you CAN adjust front camber?
If so, please tell us how, because that is something dinan isn't telling me. They installed my kit (stage 3) and i have about 1.7 degrees negative.

If you're saying rear camber is adjustable, ok, that's normal. The only front adjustable camber plates for the e39 are kmac and ground control (and i don't know if the GC kit for oe struts is out yet).

rear camber is determined by ride height -- Dinan lowers the car about 3/4" and the resulting negative camber will wear the insides of the tires somewhat faster if you do a lot of freeway driving -- if you do some cornering they even out"

While rear camber is influenced by ride height, it is adjustable on e39's at the rear. I've known of a few people who run less than dinan's recommended rear camber to save on rear tire wear, for street use.
