    Shop wont be able to align it if you trailing arm bushings are torn to pieces, check them first

    Yep, toe most importantly but camber as well, dont need so much when im not flush yet. These style 68s work/look great for daily use but im gonna switch them out for something more unique once I find some wheels that I havent already seen on a dozen other e36s and then ill get that camber back if need be for flushness

    Yea I wasn't a fan of the tires anyways, came with the car which ive only had for 2 months now, 225/50s are balloons, good riddance!

    I can only imagine with 214,000 miles that they are shot, hopefully the alignment shop will still be able to correct alot of the toe tho.

    started a topic e36 wants LESS camber/needs stance help!

    e36 wants LESS camber/needs stance help!

    So I switched out my h&r/bilstein combo for coils 3 weeks ago and loving the stanced look and will be ordering spacers as soon as I get around to getting my fenders rolled. However I ran into a problem, in about 3 weeks time ive managed to destroy my rear tires due to camber. The car hasnt been aligned yet and im def getting that done next week along with new rear tires. Question is will the alignment shop get rid of my rear camber or am I too low? Im willing to raise the rear maybe half an inch if need be.

    Damage:




    My feeble attempt at showing you my demon camber:


    And heres how low I am, the tires came with the wheels and are way too big for the 8.5s in the back with 225/50/17. Id like to be flush once the spacers and smaller tires are on in a week, just dont want to go through tires every month or so. Im a spirited driver for sure but dont burnout or break the tires loose at all so advice please!



Working...
