alignment question

Domotron · 12-01-2017, 07:48 AM

I lowered my car about 1.25 inches and looking to get my camber aligned to closer to factory spec. I do have camber plates up front and fully adjustable arms in the rear (all 3 of them). Do anyone know what suggested alignment specifications are ? i found the shop that will align it they just need the specs ....

I don't have the complete spec, but the front camber spec is supposed to be -.7~, on the rear you're looking for -1.7~. AFAIK this is for RWD, not sure on the differences (if any) to xDrive.

I would totally suggest adding more negative to the front to subdue the understeer they built into the OE specs, especially since you have plates. If you bolted in F80 control arms to the stock front hubs, you'd be at -1.7 or thereabout, and that is a common mod in the F2X/F3X crowd.

No problem dude. These are the ones most people swap in. There is quite a discussion around them as well, if you're interested in doing them I'd totally read through this thread:
