I'm at 2.5 fr and factory spec for rear camber. Loved it! Although the rears on the outside edge took a beating.

I had Eibach Pro-Kit for E93 M3 and they did the factory spec, however it wear out my front tire in side pretty fast, does your do the same thing? or you have different kits then me?

factory spec should wear out the outside edge faster if you ever turn.

I was advised to keep rear camber within ~0.5 degrees of front to keep it balanced, hence -2.6 Fr and -2.0 R for me, which was about all we could get in the rear.

was thinking of going more front and rear. any suggestions. most street driving involves getting to and from the track. was thinking 3ish front and 2.2-2.3 rear? sound reasonable?

I run Conti DW tires (265/35/18 fr, 285/35/18 r) on the street, so the rate of wear is less noticeable, with rears wearing about twice as fast as the fronts. On the track (275/35/18 sq), the outside of my fronts is getting wrecked. I am having camber plates installed for next season

I wish I knew what was different in the rear of the 2013 to account for 0.2º of difference. Both cars were maxed in the rear.

Just dropped off my stock E90 ZCP and I'm eating lunch while Speedware Motorsports gets to work. Sounds like with pins out they're getting -1.2 to -1.6 front typically. I'll update when done.

Doing that after your track day? I bet your fronts look like hell. I know mine did and I had Speedware do this before, LOL.

Well as you know I'm the second owner and it turns out the prior owner already had pins pulled and camber maxed. Speedware cleaned up my toe but really they didn't have to do much to the camber.

Front
Camber -1.5 L/R
Toe 0 L/R
Caster 7.17/7.31 L/R

Rear
Camber -1.8 L/R
Toe 0.09 L/R


I was wondering how my outside shoulders didn't get destroyed at my first track day at that explains it. That and I'm just so smooth . I'll be at Pacific Raceways this sunday if you want to come out!

KW sleeve POST alignment

Just got my KW sleeves put on - im at 3/4's of the way down, believe that equates to 1.5" drop in the front and 1" in the rear.

Here are my post alignment specs - what do you guys think?

Guys, when comparing set ups it makes sense to specify if you are running stock or staggered tire set up, what tires, and how much street driving the car sees.

Case in point - I switched from AD08 to PSS, PSS need more camber front and rear. Also, square set up would warrant closer front and rear camber settings, while stagger similar to factory seems to work better with close to 1' of difference (e.g, -2.6' and -1.6' worked well for me on staggered AD08, but if I were not doing as much street driving, I'd add another -.1' or -.2' to both)
