What street alignment settings do you use on your lowered setup?

Rick Hunter · 02-25-2017, 11:07 AM

I'm interested in finding out what alignment specs those with lowered setups are running for the street. I'm aware that the answer will vary based on personal preferences (as well as different vehicles F30 vs F32 vs F36 etc. and different suspension equipment), but I'm interested in seeing the ranges that's out here in the community.

I recently had the following installed on my F36 xDrive: H&R Sports springs, DINAN Camber Plates, Bump Stops. My shop has set it up as aggressive street (not track hardcore).

Here's the before/after shot. Note that the new springs are only a few days in so full settling hasn't occurred (so far ~26-28mm lowering after spring install).

that's a lot of camber up front, i'm surprised that's in spec. looks like it would be tail happy.

Initial drive was actually pretty comfortable. I haven't had a chance to really do some road carving, so I'll have to reserve the review until then. Agreed it's aggressive but I was looking for aggressive street settings.
