Request for Help Alignment specs.
I am looking for the OEM Alignment specs for my 2012 E89 Z4 (M-sport)
I am wanting to increase the front end grip/speed by going to a more Auto-x like setup. I need to know the stock settings first. Also anyone who has made non-standard adjustments and want to share, I would like to hear about those experiances as well. I know many suggest taking out some rear camber to ease stress on inside rim. I don't want to get into a Cracked wheel discussion, please. Thanks in advance. |

Specs for m-adaptive suspension with 18'' wheels (don't know if that matters but anyway) :
Front camber -0.23' (-+0.30') Front toe (in) +0.07' (-+0.06') each side individually Rear camber -2 (-+0.25') Rear toe (in) 0.09' (-+0.06) each side again I would try to max out negative front camber even by removing the strut pin, I would go as ''cambered'' as it allows (the m3 csl runs -1.6 front) and I would set front toe in around 0.02' on each side. If stability at higher speeds were to be influenced bad I would raise the toe in in small increments until satisfied. I would increase the rear camber to the higher end of -1.75 or maybe even higher and I would set rear toe in at least at 0.10' on each side. Hope this helps. |
