Allignment sugestions

I was able to come across alignment specs for e82 sport, e82 performance and e93 m3. I just installed Bilstien hd's and swift spec r's, I'm thinking I am going to do the performance suspension alignment but seeking other suggestions let me know what you guys think or what you would do.

EDIT: I just noticed that the numbers are exactly the same for e82 sport and performance suspension.

I have the Dinan camber plates and M3 FCAs and stock suspension, so my experience is different. But the basic principles should still apply.

That said, I would pull the alignment pins in the front struts in order to get the maximum camber possible.

For the toe settings I went with 1/16" toe-out in the front to give better turn-in response, and 3/16" toe-in to help with the oversteer. A few people experience twitchiness with toe out in the front, but I only see this when I go over grated bridges or grooved concrete, which is rare.

I absolutely love this set up and the car feels pretty good despite the lackluster stock suspension...

Also.... I found this to be AMAZING. It's a long read with 8 or 9 parts but it's a lot of great information:
