Car's finally ready for a full-on alignment. Looking forward to it.
Key specs:
89 325i
HR Sport springs / Bilstein sport shocks
GC "spec E30" camber/caster plates up front
M3 lollipop bushings
IE rear camber/toe adjustment kit
225 Advan r-comps on 15x8 rotas
The requisite urethane bushings all around
Most of the interior removed/stripped
Use:
Road course (PIR mainly). Higher speed, so stability is the goal. I'm also treating this car as a learn to drive thing, so ease of use is a priority over squeezing the last couple tenths every lap. Basically, I want a fun, easy-to-drive track car. This is NOT, however, as street car, so tire wear is of no concern.
After reading a few threads here and on bimmeforums, here's what I came up with:
F. Camber -3.5
F.Toe 0 (I've read a lot of people using a bit of toe out, but I can't tell if that's for autox or open track use... I figure 0 is a safe place to start)
F. Caster Maxed
R. Camber -2
R. Toe 1/16 - 1/8 in
So that's where I'm at. At some point, I'll have a pyrometer and do things the right way, but for now I just need a place to start.
