Wheel Alignment Specifications

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew the wheel alignment specifications for our car? I'm taking it to get done tomorrow and wanted to make sure their specifications are correct. I've read horror stories on here about wrong alignment specifications being used on e89s. Your help would be really appreciated.

My indie shop guy says he can easily take out at least 1 to 1.5 degrees of negative camber. YMMV

Great post! I was thinking of almost exactly the same setup. What tires are you running?
