Alignment specs for coilover suspension
Need some advise and alignment setting that have worked for some?
I have a 2017 340i with KW V2 coilovers. Car is lowered to 25.5" in the front and 26" in the rear measured from fender to floor. Wheels are 19x9 with +30 offset and 19x10 with +42 offset. Tires are 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear. There is a 1/2" gap between the front fender and tire, and 3/4" gap between the rear fender and tire. Im leaning towards a -1.5 camber to all four corners but I really dont know anything more about this. Any help is appreciated. |

If you did not also add camber plates with the V2s camber will not be adjustable up front. The rear has a lot of adjustment but I would not suggest increasing it over the stock numbers since it will only diminish the benefits of the camber you gained up front from the ride height change. If the car is street driven stock toe is also fine.

That's disappointing to not be able to adjust camber without plates. I was hoping for 1-1.5 of negative camber up front to give a bit more clearance. Camber plates are not plentiful for this car and from what I have read cause lots of noise. |

If you are running staggered rears, going square will reduce oversteer significantly, negating the need to run more front camber and thus camber plates.
