M3CS alignment after front Eibach

kiysersosae · 03-19-2024, 03:36 PM

Got the springs installed and alignment complete. Take a look and see what you think. Toe at the rear is as bit more than I would’ve liked but should help under heavy breaking.

A little wonko camber left to right… was someone sitting in it when the measurements were taken? Lol

I know! The guys couldn’t change it, they tried and the only conclusion was that maybe the spring hadn’t fully settled. I’m on a right hand track so it’s actually not a bad thing.

did they put weight into the drivers seat to mimic driver in the car when doing the alignment?

If not and your car is RHD that will account for some of the delta in front camber.

Personally I’d prefer slightly less toe-in up front and much less toe-in at the rear

Yeah, no driver in the front so you’re probably right.

What would you have the TOE front and rear at? It’s within spec and I thought toe out was better for 4WD car?

Doesn't look like you needed an alignment at all

I would wait a few weeks before doing it though.

I know it’s pretty much the same as before.

Track day a week Sunday, will do it after this.

I just had mine aligned (comp xdrive) after Mperf HAS and Millway monoballs, and the alignment was not far off the mark to start with, so not surprising your results aren't too out of spec either.
