Please help with alignment specs after pro kit install

Msport328xi · 07-02-2016, 08:27 PM

Hey guys, to preface I have searched but couldn't find an exact answer for my specific setup. I installed my pro kit today and am very happy with the ride! Other than the fact my steering wheel isn't straight anymore? But I want to go get it aligned. I called the shop I'm taking it to and mentioned that I put the lowering springs on and wanted an alignment. He proceeded to tell me he wasn't sure if they could align it because the car has now been lowered and factory settings would be a bit off. He told me if I can find some specs on what others have been doing to bring those in and he could then proceed. So I am looking for specs that would be good for a daily driven(no auto-x or anything like that) 2011 328i msport xDrive with the 17" stock sport wheels with the eibach pro kit installed. Thanks for your help!

They should be able to align it to stock specs no problem.

Do yourself a favor and forget that that shoo exist. Do not go there. Do not call them. Obviously not competent. Newer alignment racks have the software with specs loaded for most cars and there should not be any issues aligning your if is only slightly lowered. If you are still insisting on getting the BMW factory alignment spec you are better of posting it on the XI specific section of this forum.
