Custom alignment done thursday, thoughts?
Hey guys, I just installed ST V1 Coilovers and OEM M3 UCA's and LCA's on my E92. Running 235/40/18 ET-38 front and 265/35/18 ET-35 rear.
I'm getting it aligned Thursday, shooting for the following specs: Front toe: 0.10* Front camber: -1.40* Rear toe: 0.20* Rear camber: -1.75* Any thoughts or concerns with this setup? I searched around but couldn't find much concrete info. Also does anyone know how to adjust the front toe? It's VERY toed in right now and the shop is ~25miles away and I'd like to save my tires a bit on the way there... Thanks!

Lengthen the tie rods to bring toe back out so the car is at least driveable. Some pics in this thread: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=371886

Quote:
1. Loosen the Torx bolt (don't remove it completely). 2. Use an open-ended wrench on the flats of the rod to turn it. 3. Tighten the Torx bolt again when you're done. |

Also, unlike a real alignment, you will want to do this with the front wheels off the ground or else you won't be able to turn the tie rods. It would also be a good idea to center the steering wheel first and turn each rod approximately the same amount. Don't worry too much though since the alignment will take care of any issues.
