Poop. Failure at the alignment shop.

[vdubspeed]

So my project 89 325i is starting...like all projects...to ask for more money.

I installed a good used set of bilsteins and spax lowering springs along with fresh tie rods and control arms with m3 bushings at the back. Went straight to the the car aligned and got bad news....

1.5 degrees negative on the left.
2.5 negative on the right.

I'm used to VWs where you just loosen the strut bolts and set your camber as desired. Not so easy on the e30 unfortunately:(

So now I'm looking for a decent way to get a fix for this and so far my only option is the KMAC variant one sold by turner motorsports.

Any other options?

Thanks,

Jason

Fronts or backs?
If fronts, get straighter strut housings or roll with adjustable camber plates
If rear, something is bent and will need further diagnosis.


The camber difference isn't that much.

Ireland Engineering makes adjustable camber plates, and they aren't prone to slipping like the KMACs. I've been running their race plates for years.

Ground control makes camber plates also

Vorshlag plates are really nice but they are also $$$. For alignment you should check out www.alignmentDIY.com
