    How much camber & toe adjustment in stock form?

    How much camber/toe front & rear am I able to get out of a stock ’87 325is. I’m just curious as to how much adjustment there is in stock form.

    I plan to install a set of IE Stage 3 springs and then get an alignment afterwards. I’m looking to get -2 deg. of camber up front, -1 deg of camber in the rear, zero toe in the front and 3/16” toe-in in the rear. Will I have enough adjustment with the IE Stage 3 springs installed without the need of camber plates and/or camber and toe bolts in the rear to get the settings I’m looking for?

    If not, what options do I have as far as aftermarket camber and toe adjustment in the rear? I’ve looked at the IE camber and toe bolts, but curious as to what other options are out there.

    Thanks.

    i believe the only adjustment you have stock is front toe. everything else is not adjustable unless you purchase front camber mounts, or eccentric rtabs. there are also fixed-offset camber mounts for the front that when installed provide a set level of camber.

    however, you may find that with stock geometry you will see more camber than expected. my h&r cupkit lowered the car similarly, and i saw a definite increase in both front and rear camber. When i get a chance i'll pull out the alignment printout with the after-readings.
