Alignment Specs

KC Bimmer · 03-23-2017, 09:54 AM

So I am finally trying to get an alignment from my shop after lowering on Dinan springs. They asked what specs and if I just want factory specs. I don't know much about this so thoughts? Thanks, Seth

DINAN should be able to provide you alignment specs for their springs.

Just called. Shocker I had to leave a message. Maybe someone will actually call me back this time.

Got a call back and emailed to me already. Dinan was responsive!

I posted my specs here:

Setup feels great! Good street settings.

If you get a chance, perhaps post your specs there?

I am attaching my own alignment sheet, I was shocked by the camber values considered factory default by their calibration engine for an F30; they chose the wrong model (Plugin Hybrid = 330e, mine isn't plugin) but still...

It's in french but values are in this order (as you would guess from the value range...)
Camber ("carrossage") > says expected values are -0°50' to +0°10 ?!? really? i'm running a healthy -1°50' and would change that
Caster ("chasse") > to much caster, i'm fitting the M3 tension struts to reduce my caster in the coming 10 days.
Toe ("parallelisme") > Toe in 0°06'
