if they play around with your arms, they should be able to get both within spec.
I've had my bad experiences with cheap arms in the past. I think I would bit the bullet for a good quality set of toe arms. From my understanding, we can't run camber arms as our springs sit in the perch of the camber adjustable lower control arm. That is the reason why I was asking what other people do with much more aggressive setups than I have. I know there are eccentric camber bolt kits, but the ones I have seen are outrageously expensive.

Odd. We were only able to achieve -2.8 without going out of spec. Here is my alignment sheet for reference;



I think I stance.



In all seriousness though, if I could get my specs just over -3 degrees, I believe I could eliminate all rubbing.

Yeah your car looks good!

Dude, if you arent running crazy hp and going all out in competitions you can run these..:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nk...S+328+335+BLUE
I ran those in almost all my cars, And I run them in my E93 M3, it's super low and i beat the shit out of it.. I also drift it btw...
they are the exact same arms and brand for M3 and 335i

if you want something a bit better Megan is a great product too, I wouldn't recommend their entry level coilovers but they do have good quality products, and I ran their arms in a few of my cars before.
http://www.redline360.com/megan-raci...ar-MRS-BM-0210
http://www.335ishop.com/335i/Megan-R...E92-p-121.html

Cant you also upgrade e92 to M rear arms also?(would cost you more then aftermarket though lol)
Does the E92 have upper and lower camber arms like the M?

Damn that Kerscher lip looks bomb. Do you rub it anywhere? I am running a very similar fender gap on 18"s and I am worried I would rip the lip off in the first week.

Lets just say I drive very cautiously! Our roads are terrible as well which doesn't help!

gabe heres my 7in at full droop. notice the extended sleeve added onto the existing threaded adjuster to prevent it from falling out the collar in the event the rear goes air born and full droop occurs. i have about 2in worth of thread to go lower but i have to much poke for the aired out tuck look.

Awesome! thanks for that, I assume you took it to a welder and just selected a piece that fit into the spring?

Forgive the blurry picture, but notice how the lower control arm which holds the springs also is adjustable at the inner end..That can also adjust camber..
and my upper camber arm is the gold rod you see on top near the spring.
the other thin arm is Toe control arm.

The second picture shows the gold aftermarket camber arm better.Name:  20141112_140609.jpg

So you want to adjust the control/camber arm bringing the wheel in to the center of the car as much as possible..(positive camber)... Then finalize the camber with the upper Gold camber arm...(That is mostly is you are having rubbing issues.)

So the moral of the story is I need 8" rear springs. Lol

I appreciate the explanation. I thought the only possible adjustment was on that inner eccentric bolt on the lower control arm. That makes sense about the upper arm as an alternative. I guess I will be buying camber/toe arms this winter! Thanks for the input!

ya took it to a local shop and i used their welder. i just paid them for the material used...iirc it was a piece of mild steel 2 1/4 pipping. it was just butt joint i welded on the inside. 3 small beads about 1inch a part cause a full bead around is overkill.
