Hey e30 guys,
What would be a good alignment setting for a street driven e30? (325i H&R sports w/Billy shocks.) I'm looking for a slightly aggresive set-up compared to the stock setting. Currently the car has no problems with tire wear.
Thanks, Alex
Depends on what you have on the car. Stock, you can only adjust toe on E30s. If you have camber/caster plates up front and alignment correction in the rear, you can experiment.
On my old car I had GC SpecE30 front camber plates and the IE weld-in kit.
I ended up with (or close to):
F. Camber -3.0-3.5
F. Toe Zero
F. Caster Max
R. Camber -2.0-2.5 (exactly one degree difference, front to rear)
R. Toe 1/8" in
I should add that I didn't own the car long enough to really experiment with alignment settings, so take my setup as a baseline. The car drove fine with the above.
No adjustment out back for me at the moment, but on both cars for the street I run.
Zero toe
-2.5 camber
as much caster as I can get
