Cusco strut brace install and a bit of a screw up!
I was installing the cusco strut brace on my E90 (pretty easy install) but I could not find the socket to get the support brace off so I decided to just take the ends off the strut brace.....install them on each tower and then install the bar. Well all was good until I took the 3 bolts of the top of the strut tower and the rim went in & the bolts when to the right (I have installed these before and the bolts never moved?). I jacked the car and centered the bolts in the middle and tightened them down...if I am off a bit how bad will this screw up the adjustment (camber I am guessing) will this have any effects on the suspension/alignment?? I am not a suspension guy so honestly have no idea what this did so I am asking you guys that do know.
Thanks Rob

Doesn't seem to hurt ride quality...guess I got it close....should I tell my shop about what I did before I get my alignment?

From your description and what i think you did was alter your camber, this will be adjusted if you plan on getting an alignment.
