I went into Edge Motorworks yesterday. They did a "before" check on my 135 with the sports package. They use a state-of-the-art computer alignment system from Hunter. (Supposedly in the $100,000 bracket.) I doubt many shops have better equipment. I can't comment on relative price.
Before settings at 1500 miles, no passenger loading. (* used since I can't do the degree symbol.)
Front Camber: L -.03* R -.03*
Front Caster: L 7.2* R 7.3*
Front Toe: L .22* R .17* Total Toe .39*
Rear Camber L -1.6* R -1.7*
Rear Toe: L .03* R .03* Total .06*
The rear toe seems too low, should be .10*-.20* per side, but I've heard BMW specs are set with dummy loads.
I'm putting on just the M3 lower control arms, I would like to know how much difference there is by adding the tension arms. PM sent.
