So just got an alignment and new tires installed after dropping the car ~1" axle to fender. The coilovers do have camber plates.

The alignment tech didn't change much except correct the toe. I specified oe alignment and camber.

For ref I've also attached the previous alignment after new winter tires endnof 2019. That was at stock xdrive height.

The screenshot is at the new ride height. Seems I lost camber in the rear, but gained about 1° in the front.

The car was tracking straight before this recent alignment, no bumpsteer. Anything seem off about these numbers? Why does the passenger side havr more camber than the driver side?

For ref, winters are standard 225/45/18, and the summers are extreme contact sport in 255/40/18.

Did they have you sit in the vehicle while they adjust the driver side? I doubt all shops do this but my guy has me sit in the vehicle while he adjust driver side. It doesn't look off looks fine to me IMO. Did they not adjust the camber hat at all though? Did you tell the tech they had camber hats?

if you plan on tracking, -1.9 for rear camber is good "set it and forget it" number. if what is being shown on the computer screen shots is what is on the car now then that is a really big difference between rear driver and rear passenger side camber.

keep in mind that ideal camber numbers are dependent on tire width. The wider the tire, the less camber you need.

Oh man so I do havr something wrong back there. $$$$. I do want to take this car to the track at least once, since I've done so much maintenance, and drivability mods (Lsd, coilovers).


But I think I really want an e36/46/brz/cayman for de dedicated track and a reasonably comfortable daily. All of these paths require more $$$
