    Help, what alignment for SpecE30 street car?

    I am finishing up my S50 swap and need to know what alignment settings to dial in. My 91 318is has full SpecE30 suspension, but with fixed E30 M3 offset strut mounts. This car will be my daily driver, but will obviously pull track duty from time to time. The rear has IE offset bushings so I can control toe/camber. I assume I should see where my fixed fronts are on camber and go 1 degree less in the back. What should toe be front and rear? Thanx.

      Have somebody sit in the passanger seat and you sit in the driver's seat and have a full tank of gas and have somebody align it to 318is spec's. But if they won't let you sit in you car while they do it make sure they put weight's in it. If they don't it will not set the toe in the front right and it will drag a little big. Not enough to notice untill your tire's wear out.

          JP- OOPs I guess I did get it. I am more interested in toe settings f and r, as the front camber will be fixed with the E30M3 mounts I am using. I am running 225/45/15 hankook s2 on konig 15x7 rewinds. I would like to try to get 10k miles out of them so I hope it doesn't give me anything too crazy. I will try 0 front and ~.15 degrees toe in for the rear. This car is hilarious! It will be quite a change driving this around town than my F250 diesel.
