    My 5 Lug Alignment


    My Setup is
    front e36 m3 shocks/springs/IE camber plates/m3 offset control arm bushings.
    rear is z3 1.9l trailing arms/brakes/e30 m3 springs.

    what do you guys think of these specs?

    You NEED more camber up front and a way to fix your rear toe badly.

      anyone please make suggestions.

      is the IE rear toe/camber kit going to do what i need to fix my toe issue?

      the camber plates are fully adjusted to the most negative camber that they can go in the front. those settings are matched to the factory spec for my car.

        Haha, that's like no camber at all. The least I can get with my Vorshlag plates is like -1 degree. The most I can get, with stock style springs, is just a hair over -3 degrees. On the street I set it to -1 degree and about 1/16" toe in in the front.

          How the heck do you guys are getting about 9's of caster!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! I barely got 6 with Vorshlag plates and custom machined bushing control arm to get some caster.

          I have about 2.2 degrees for camber though.

            LOL, more camber up front, match it to the rear at least, and set your front toe IN, instead of out. Do need to fix rear toe, unless you always plan to turn right. Pics?

              All looks nicely within spec (camber/castor) other than the screwy rear toe & front toe-out.

              Wouldn't worry about the camber unless you are planning on racing it etc... then more camber is better.

              Like-wise with the front toe-ing out, fine if you are racing as it gives better steering response, but on the road can cause tramlining & instability.
