Yes, in my experience even wild camber doesn't change the tire wear much. Excessive toe-in or toe-out can ruin a set of tires in 500 miles.

Yes.

My 01 has Bilstein B8’s with 20mm Ruf lowering springs.
... to get a proper alignment do I need to replace any suspension parts?

Thank you.

Carlo_Carrera

Only way to tell is to put it up on the alignment rack and see what settings they can get out of it.

Possibly rear toe arms depending on how low you are and what you want. They're pretty cheap and way easier to adjust than the eccentric bolt on the car. I have the Torque Solutions one and they are fine.

Gt3stig

Thank you guys👍
very much appreciated.

i got an alignment last week.
could you please check over the results for me. Thank you.

Carlo_Carrera

Those adjustments look wrong to me. I am unsure why they went so conservative with the negative camber on the front and why the negative camber on the rear is so different side to side.

These specs would be better.

Gt3stig

they told me the front is where it’s supposed to be...

as for the difference in the rear they said that’s all they could get out of it. They couldn’t turn the settings any further.


do you think I have something bent under there?

2 hour alignment $160 an hour $320
for nothing 😢

and I’m getting confused with the names of the parts I need...
Dog bones, drop links, camber bars?

where to buy?

thanks Carlo

Turbodan

here's mine. took less than an hour for $150 CDN. Set up for street. He said everything was fine. Did this in spring after new tires installed.

Carlo_Carrera

I really don't how to help you at this point. That alignment is not very good. I have no idea what you should do to change it.

I also can't understand how any shop with experience with these car would lessen the negative camber on the front. That make zero sense.

If your car is lowered with stock toe arms it will usually be a trade off between proper toe and camber. Not able to get both. Get some toe arms and get it re aligned.

Gt3stig

Ok thanks guys,
really appreciate your help.
the shop was highly recommend😡


Do I need upper and lower toe arms or
Or just lower.
and do I need them for the rear and front?

Capt. Obvious

That looks like a lazy alignment tech to me.

I’m going to have to study suspension parts and alignments.. before I ask anymore questions.
thanks guys.
