Alignment recommendations

Hey all ,

Getting an alignment done on Monday morning for my 335i. I just finished installing m3 front control arms (lower and upper) and the car has Dinan lowering springs , with an m3 away bar. I was wondering what people are doing with their set ups that are most similar to mine? I did the m3 arms because the understeer in my car beyond annoying. I've read some people like to go -2 for the front and rear ? Is that the most popular approach? I think for all other specs such as toe and cater I'll have them spec those to the m3 in the front and 335 in the rear but I would like to do some camber in the front to take some of that understeer away. I do hit the twisty roads often but I'll never go to the track and regular drive on the highway . Lmk what you guys think!

Ps I think with the Dinan springs I have -2.2 rear camber would you keep a more negative camber in the rear to keep some understeer or go the opposite way and get oversteer? Not a professional but hit the roads hard . Lmk! Thanks all!

I have a 2008 e90 335i with stock sport suspension, but also did M3 control arms when I refreshed the entire suspension. Same usage as you, and this is what I just went with:

Front camber: max negative possible, ended up around -1* for me. Caster is not adjustable.
Front toe: A tiny bit of toe-in; I went with 0.1*
Rear camber: -1.5*
Rear toe: 0.1* in
