Update - Installed M3 control arms and Nolathane RSFB (thanks Dackles, RIP).
Things I found:
3.5 spins (lengthen) of tension rod after control arm install was about right as suggested on this forum by fe1rx. Was slightly overadjusted when properly measured, but definitely enough to get you to an alignment shop.
Installing the 2 piece RSFB, I found the easiest way (with car on jack stands):
- to remove bolts of one side (left or right) so there is enough space.
- use a jack to lift this side up once RSFB installed so you can bolt it back on.
- Also, removing the "power brace"(?) so there is space to fit a RSFB tool for the front bushing.
With adjustment pins removed and m3 control arms with stock M-Sport suspension, I only got -1 degree camber on 0 toe for the front wheels after alignment. Might get camber plates... was hoping for -1.5 degrees, but not too important.
As suggested, I have checked my power steering fluid and coolant, both look good but a little low, waiting for Victorian lockdown to end so I can pick some up from BMW.
