'91 318is - I've lowered it a bit with KW progressive springs and Koni Sports. Now of course it's got too much camber, rear a bunch. So I'm trying to figure out if the offset bushing will be enough or if I need to go to a adjustable tab setup for the rear. Front - not sure what level adj camber/caster plates I need. I did get a computer printout that reads where everything is now, but I don't know how to make sense of it. Suggestions?

Offset bushings - If you're talking front control arms, they don't change static camber at all, only dynamic camber (as the wheels turn) increase, so it won't fix your problem.
Still a good upgrade since they are cheap.
If you're talking about offset bushings in the rear, I can only assume the raised subframe bushings? It will decrease camber and some toe, but I would still opt for the adjustable rear weld-on hardware to get a great alignment.
You'll need camber plates up front that work with springs.
Post a picture of your alignment and we can make sense of it, or just neatly type it out.

Thanks for the reply guys. As far as "a bit", can you point me to a stock ride height chart? I'm curious too. I do have a computer print out, my buddy did it twice on a computerized setup and measured it exactly as it sits now except for tires. I'll copy and add to this ASAP. I do appreciate the help. John
