Wheel Alignment on my e92.

E92NYC · 06-12-2016, 09:56 AM

I got a wheel alignment on my e92 yesterday. I want to know if anyone know how to read these numbers and if my car has been correctly aligned.

My e92 has stock 17 inch wheels and is lowered with coilovers.

I asked the guy why my front and rear are in the red zone. He said its based off stock height and since my car is lowered, as a result, it will be in the red zone. He said it is aligned though.

that rear toe is ridiculous and doesnt matter if you're lowered, the camber is ok.

I bet the car feels like its unstable when the rear tire hits a pothole

You should get your money back and go to RCT Performance

Go back and have them re-align the rear toe angle.. Angle of the wheel facing left, straight, or right in relation to the front of the car. You want it as close to 0 (Zero) Degrees, as possible.

Should not be left like that. And the FIX should be done free, if they ask for $, ask for a refund. Simple as that.

The camber in the red is ok, bc you are lowered. However i still believe that amount of front and rear negative camber is a little aggressive to run on a DD car, unless you're going for improved handling, at the cost of quicker tire wear. Just something to think about and research here on the forum.

How far are you lowered?

I recommend having car aligned and any work needed to be done at "Camber Toe". Its in western Nassau County, Long Island. Not to far from queens (10-15 mins), not sure about BK though.

They know these cars very well, and offer a great rate in my opinion for an alignment done by someone that actually knows exactly what theyre doing lol.

go to camber toe in lynbrook, li. They specialize in everything not just alignments and will make sure everything is how you want it. I've been going there forever. Won't nickel and dime you.
