    toe setting with M3 CABs?

    I have M3 CAB's on my lowered 325i, and I have noticed a lot of wear on the inside edge due to improper toe settings. Should I have it set to M3 specs instead?

    You should have set it to the proper specs for an e30. When you change to the m3 offset, toe changes also.

      Have it set to 1/16" toe in (total).

        It was set to e30 specs, as in 325i specs. And I am getting pore wear. did you mean to say M3 specs?

          Did you not have an alignment done when you put the M3 cabs in?

          If not, I suggest you get your car to an alignment shop on the double.

            Ya I did have it aligned as soon as I did the CABs. Strait from the garage to the alignment shop. But over the past months I have noticed this really bad wear...so time to take it back, this afternoon. I'll have them set it to 1/16" as Pierced said.

              Next week whilst my car is getting the newer motor put in, I am also rebuilding the suspension. Baby is getting the M3 CABs, so I am interested in this as well?
              I also bought the IE street camber plates. So any advice on the install before we start?
              ;)
