Just wondering what you guys are running? I am thinking of getting my car aligned properly and would like to have it set up as aggressive as possible for autox.
Its totally stock right now as well. __________________ 98 318ti

If you are stock, there won't be a lot you can do.
Camber is what you really need, and unfortunately you have no way to adjust it up front. Camber shims are a quick and easy way to dial in some more negative camber (I'm using a full shim kit plus whatever the H&R Race springs gave me).
A little bit of toe out - 1/8" total toe out should be good in the front.
And some toe in out back - 1/4" toe in.
Should you get a way to adjust camber, -3 to -5 works in the front (I'm running closer to -3, and -1 to -2 works in the back (I'm about -1.5).
What class are you running? | | | | | 09-06-2007, 10:15 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: Cary, NC Posts: 117 |

You need a lot negative caber in the front. 2.5 degrees or more. Get a shim kit and the camber corrction bolts from BMW and u should get 2,5. __________________

The shim kit and bolts will take him out of GS.
Just get the toe set and have fun. | | | | | 09-06-2007, 11:57 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2006 Location: Greece Athens Posts: 302 |
