Z4C wheel alignment

[Thermaltake]

Done some searching but couldnt find any conclusive answers for the coupe.

After fitting eibachs ands new tyres, I need to get the alignment done. Is it best to stick with the standard z4c geo settings as the fancy hunter/kds machines will provide.

Saw some people mentions using m3 csl settings etc is that only for the Z4MC?

Any help would be appreciated.

Nobody seemed to help with my last query, hopefully this one will garner more response.

Been looking into alignment settings and reading around.

One thing thats still confusing me is adding ballast weight to the car for alignment. I believe part of the the alignment procedure for bmw's is to add weight to the car, from what ive read its 68kg in driver and passenger seat and possible weight in the boot aswell. there seems to be conflicting info on wether people get alignment done with this or without and what the point of adding weight is.

Some believe its just to simulate a generic weight carried in the car others to but it to a baseline bmw spec to make adjustments from.

My cars on eibachs so getting it to a base spec ride height is not really relevant, i am normally the only person in the car and nothing in the boot, so if the ballast is purely to account for load, Would it be best to just load the driver seat with the equivalent
of my weight.

Also does anyone have the z4m/z4mc and csl specs?

Loads of threads on this sort of stuff, go to an alignment shop who know their stuff to set it up is my advice
Weighing the car down is common practice, but you could just ask them not to

I've seen it both listed, i.e. Weight it regardless and also weight only needed to get it within normal ride height.
My preference would be to replicate your own usual conditions.
