New alignment questions
Ok so Im going to get a new, less agressive alignment on monday, since Im tired of buying tires lol.
Mods- ST-XTA coilovers M3 control arm kit Im currently running Front: -3.0* camber, 0 toe. Rear: -2.2* camber, .125 toe in Im eating through tires, and looking for a more durable alignment for now. Would -1.5* camber all around with stock toe, front and rear be a decent daily alignment?

How are your tires wearing down? Inside edges? Or all the way across the tire thread ?
I think most 135i owners will tell you IF you can get 10K to 15K miles out the rear tires - you are doing great! Some guys here get much less mileage! The fronts seem to go almost twice as long as the rears. Dack

Looking at your current spec of zero toe, it makes me wonder if the toe spec may have drifted out since the alignment was done. If your car is actually running toe-out, then it would make sense to find the tires wearing heavily on the inside edge. Changing to -1.5 degrees front camber with slight toe-in should avoid the front tire wear problem.
EDIT: I just read your alignment was verified. So in that case, IDK! Anyway good luck! |

Pull the alignment pins on the strut tops, should get you to ~-0.7 camber or so. Rest of the alignment specs I posted are totally doable on stock suspension.

Front camber= max negative Caster= 7.0-7.2 Tow = -.07 on each side for -.14 total (or should I 0 it out for more stability during DD?) Rear Max negative camber Rear tow = .12-.15 for .24-.30 total ? Do you think this would provide a solid daily drive with the ability to actually put down power into the corner a bit better ? Or does the rear tow need to go up ? Thanks for your input Last edited by pepper135I; 05-13-2016 at 03:03 AM.. |

Hoping a set of RE11s I have (running at the same front alignment) will last me around 8,000-10,000 kms or roughly 5,500 miles including a track day or two and a number of auto-x events. Am I delusional? |

Track days and autocrosses will actually help even out the wear. At 2,500 miles (or as wear dictates) you can dismount and flip the tires for even shoulder wear (usually outside shoulder wear is out main concern) |
