    I have the marshall subframe too, installed it in may of this year and took it for an alignment, i was at -3.5 left and 3.73 right camber, and the toe was way off +1.1 left and -0.54 right. After alignment the camber was at -2.07 left and -2.09 right (factory spec is -2.0), toe was correted to +0.20 left and +0.11 right (factory spec is +0.19). I was gappy with the results. One thing though, the left (driver side) toe nut was a bitch and gave the guy a very hard time to deal with it as it was very hidden. Did you run into the same problem?
    Can any regular aligment place take care of aligning the rear end?
    And can you post a link to the Marshall subframe.
    Thanks.

          I took it to a local Tire Factory and the guy there did it no problem. It took about an hour and a half, and was like $85. A local bmw specialist shop though said it'd take 3 hours and they wanted $280 for it!

                  Lol. Sometimes it's not all about how low the car looks.

                          Any rolling in the rear/front? I need a decent set of tires but I'm not a fan of stretch.

                              Obviously OP isn't doing this for LOOKS, if you want to SLAM your car to the ground make your own thread on it.
