Looking for 128i alignment specs for track
I am getting a set of Vorshlag camber plates installed in 2 weeks and looking for alignment specs people are running for track use. Car is 128i on Bilstein b14 coilovers.
Saw this recommendation from amg6975 - "As much front camber as you can get, and about a degree less in the rear. zero toe in the front, very slightly in in the rear." Please let me know what you are running/suggesting I should run. |

You'll definitely want all the camber you can get up front with the slightly softer spring rates on the b14s. If the car is a dual duty daily driver that sees a lot of highway miles then a small amount of toe in up front can make it easier to live with between track days and you won't really miss the difference in turn-in as a novice. But the tramlining isn't too bad on mine with 0* toe up front. |

Amg's recommendation is spot on, that's what I run on my car.

Agree with amg as well. Although I can’t do more camber in the rear to make the difference 1 degree front to rear. Tires start to rub the frame in the rear if I add too much camber. Here is my last alignment. Was great on track and around town.

I forgot about this thread, so back when I got them installed I ended up getting -2.7 front and -2.4 back, which it looks like is against the recommendations in this thread.
I just started this thread as well but I guess you answered my question https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=2085912 I'll revisit and get rear neg camber dialed down to -1.7 thanks all! |

Updating the thread, never went in to get realigned but issue went away.
Maybe tires just needed to be driven a bit after being stored for 6 months. I'll still get the rear camber dialed to 1.7 once i need alignment for m3 arms which i will inevitably install. Thanks for the valuable input everyone! |
