M3 Control Arm Upgrade Alignment Spec

mayhs · 03-10-2017, 11:49 AM

I've recently purchased a set of TRW M3 Control Arms (Upper and Lower) for my 2006 330D MSport which I'll be fitting soon. However after digging through lots of old posts about this upgrade, but I can't find a clear answer regarding the alignment post installation.

Do I need to tell the alignment shop that I want the alignment done to full M3 spec? i.e. front and rear. Or do I need to get M3 spec up front and standard (330D Msport) specs for the rear?

If you go to a decent place with a hunter alignment system, ask for m3 GTS settings.
My mate (after we installed his new wishbones etc) went to a kwikfit centre to a guy he knew & that's what settings they dialed in.
