    Does anyone have a alignment specs for an e30 S52 swap that will rarly get track time

    Best part of swap is the part where you are satistified with the cars performance enough to start focusing on the wheel alignment.

    After R&R of front suspension and cross member(kept my 95 m3 rack) car is drifting when throttle is half open.

    No doubt I need an alignment, I was wondering if anyone had numbers I can give my mechanic before he starts aligning the wheels.

    I am hoping there is are alignment numbers that will take into consideration the added weight to the front of the car that can help with the dynamics of the custom anatomy of the car.

    Heading out of the door now, to tryin get an alignment before shop gets busy. but will take it back if I get replies back then I can do a comparison of stock calibration and suggested setup.

    I went for a slightly aggressive street alignment. I have stock suspension so it can't be adjusted much. But I did replace rear subframe with Garagistic adjustable subframe which allows for rear camber adjustment.
    Front: -1.5 degrees camber, +8.6 degrees caster, +0.18 degree toe
    Fear: -0.9 degree camber, +0.19 degree toe.

    When I had stock M20 with stock rear subframe, condor engine mounts, ireland engineering green poly (95A?) subframe bushings, the car was very nimble in the canyons and I never had alignment done on the car since I bought it. The car was also super noisy and harsh. I haven't tried canyons yet since my swap but now I also have softer AKG 70A motor mounts and 80A subframe bushings.
