I didn't quite get it but the Chap at Chemix in stourbridge is bloody brilliant.. but what's strange is your is aligned and wonders off whereas mine is absolutely fine, I can only feel the alignment issue if I boot it and it slips a little.

Also, how exactly did you align the car when you've upgraded to m3 arms? From what I've read it becomes a bit of a nightmare trying to align the car with them on, and if I'm not mistaken when chemix gets everything setup they chose your car from a list which specifies the x y and z of alignment specifications but if I'm not mistaken you cant follow them, I'm pretty sure I read another thread with people using M3 arms using some other figures

Well, I think the two shops just used the standard settings for my car, so not taking into account the M3 arms. This very well could be part of the issue then!

There are posts on here about it, Rajb's build thread would be a good place to look.
Good luck getting it set up correctly.

As above, I think I have just the generic E9x settings...I'll will have a look at Rajbs thread for details then.
Nice one!
