Racing / Autocross Aligment. Camber?

[JT - '02 330i]

How much is "Right"? Can this be achieved without camber plates?

I've barely been able to get 1.0/0.8 negative. Would of liked 1.5 for autocross.

Only way to really tell is to test or to take tire temps. But AutoX tends to be too short for good temps.

Many people are running as much as 3 degrees negative, if then can get it. With a stock suspensionn, dial in as much as you can and be happy.

1.5 is a good comprimise street/autox setting. More will adversely effect tire wear while street driving.

For the track, I'll be running -3.0 to -3.5 up front (with adjustable plates) and -2.0 degrees in the rear which I'm already running and can be accomplished with stock components.

I believe we e46s can take the guide support from the 96+ e36 M3s and swap them (left on our right and vice versa) which will allow some more camber adjustment up front.

-3.5 up front :yikes:

Jawknee is right, factory settings for the rear are -2 deg 04' +/- 15'
