There are a number of references here on E9coupe to K-Mac 191716-1J adjustable front camber/caster plates (one is here: https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/camber-plates-make-sure-you-really-need-them-first.32165/). I need a set, as I have uneven left-to-right front camber, but they're $380 a pair whether you look on K-Mac's website, or ECSTuning.com, or ECS' stuff on eBay, or vividracing.com, and at that price, I just couldn't quite get myself to pull the trigger.
So I waited. And watched.
Then, last Thursday, to my stunned surprise, ECS' eBay auction had dropped the price from $380 to $74.37 for the two pairs ECS had up on eBay. I looked on ECS's page as well (https://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/191716-1J/), and, sure enough, it also showed the $74.37 price. Since ECS has historically a bit of a reputation for not actually having things in stock, and since the eBay auction showed inventory of "2," I clicked and bought a pair on eBay. The eBay inventory then went to "1." Someone else bought the other pair shortly after, and the auction page disappeared.
I didn't want to post this until I actually received notification that my eBay-purchased set had shipped, and I had a tracking number. I received that email earlier tonight.
The link on the ECS web site above still shows them for $74.37 and "Availability: In stock." If you need a set, I'd recommend calling them. I'd wager that they only had the two sets that were on eBay, but it's worth a try.
EDIT: The eBay auction page is back up, and shows 1 in stock: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233485240076?hash=item365cce070c:g:8EkAAOSwnMdeOSRj
Good luck.
