Alignment result

Have done an alignment today, how do these figures look?
Arent the figures from left to right be the same?

Setup
Front
19x8.5 ET35 225/35/19
Ride height 595mm with 10mm spacer

Rear
19x9.5 ET33 255/30/19
Ride height 585mm without any spacer

Planning to get 5mm spacer for the rear.
I found that the front is rubbing against the front inner liner, e.g. the vent for the oil cooler. Any suggestion? maybe more negative camber would help?

compared to the previous alignment result, is the new one better or more suitable with my setup above?

Yes.
Read that they are good.
But quite pricy at $110 and not even have a chance to speak to them with regards to any particular setup that I want.

Anyway, how's my alignment looking?

Pricey, $110 is good

Darwin I had to pay $600

That was including changing ride height and adjusting camber plates

The discernible information on the new alignment 'A' is the specified range. The template used for this provides camber and toe which has not used the BMW narrower tolerance for adjustment or values outside the specification.

As an example Front axle camber used is -33' +/-30' (-1°.03' - -0°.03') when it's specified -33' +/-25' (-0°.58' - -0°.08')

Further Front axle toe used 0°.07' +/-0°.6' (0°.01' - 0°.13') when it's specified 0°.14' +/-0°.04' (0°.10' - 0°.18')

So the Front axle camber has fallen inside the specification but the Front axle toe is slightly negative and outside the specification.

The Rear axle you can interpret yourself given it has been highlighted now.

The old alignment 'B'report looks similar to a John Bean. The camber and toe for both axles has been specified exactly according to BMW specifications.
However the ride height range is incorrect. Rear height 582mm - 602mm Front 606mm - 626mm
Given it has not been measured and is based on 19" rims with a low slung suspension.
