I’m no expert on this, which is why I posted it, I imagine there’s different tolerances which are in an acceptable range but be interesting if anyone with more knowledge could add their thoughts

Good rear camber result, is yours on standard M sport springs and standard tyre sizes?

I specifically went for near neutral front toe and less rear camber myself, preference really.

Yup, standard size wheels MACK, although they are MV3s so a lower offset. Don't think that makes any difference mind.

Oh, and I had changed a significant number of suspension components just before this was done, hence the "before" setup being horrible! Was a very interesting drive to the garage that day... :rofl:

Still on m sport springs or you lowered?

Did you ask for anything specific with this? For example the rear camber is no where near factory spec, it's closer to the settings for an M . Dont get me wrong that's no bad thing at all but I'm just wondering why they did that.

I mentioned it has M-sport suspension rather than SE and said it was for road use rather than track and then left them to do what they thought best. How would these settings effect it, haven’t had a chance to properly drive it yet as was a very short trip home and all seemed well, not that there were any major problems before

Howcome you went for this set up, less twitchy? Just had mine lowered and oem aligned, but the dreaded tram lining is back so looking for something more neutral.

Felt the factory rear camber was a bit excessive for a road car, and less toe in up front makes it a bit more eager to turn in. Its the factory M specs, so figured they know how to set a car up!
 
I had the zed aligned last week to factory spec on eibachs and it's tramlining a bit, any experts on here able to advise what to tweak?
front toe +0.06' each side
camber -1.16'
caster 5.16'
rear toe +0.07' each side
camber -2.5'
back in on Friday to get tweaked and was thinking just bringing camber down on the rear, but not sure that'll actually change the tramlining?

Go for Z4M settings as a start and see how it feels :)
 
I’ve replaced a lot of front suspension components and I am gonna have a total wheel alignment done. I’ve currently got 17x7.5 ET45s all round, with 225 rubber - these are my winter wheels. I’ve just received my new summer wheels, which are 18x8 ET40 with 225/40 on the front and 18x9 ET40 255/35 on the rear.

Does it make much difference which wheels I have the alignment done with?

less camber on the rear (aim for as close to front as possible) and a little more rear toe
