I had come across a thread awhile back that had some good alignment suggestions in it and I'll be darned if I can find it.

I've got a stock suspension '09 Clubman S that I'll be putting new tires on before too long. Plan to do an alignment at the same time.


Given not too much adjustment can be made to the stock suspension, what's the best setup?

I've already done the free camber mod, but i'll want to have the alignment guy make sure both sides are the same and give me as much neg camber as possible up front.

Then I was thinking 0 toe up front.

Can the stock rear toe be adjusted or not? I'd heard 1/16" toe in would be ideal.

Thoughts?

 

I'm running good on 0 toe front and 0.20 each rear toe in. Recommend you push max front negative camber and less rear camber to decrease oem understeer.

 

Can the rear toe be set with a stock suspension? I'm assuming that rear camber can't be without adjustable rear arms.

 

yes, very slightly

 

How is this setup with tire wear? Normal? excessive?

 

No problem with these. Very even and much better turn it for street and hwy. You should still rotate your tires. I have -2.1 camber in front and -1.5 rear, it drives great. Make sure the left and right side have the exact settings. I have seen lots of non matching sides.

 

I just had mine updated:

Front -2.0 camber , 0 Toe , caster 3.3
Rear -1.3 camber , 3/32 toe in each side

Feels great! Rotates great with the RSB.
