Lowered f97 Alignment Settings

Quick question for those that have lowered their cars, do you by chance know the alignment settings before and after? Is it possible to get the car to OEM alignment specs after lowering?

I don't have the settings, but the dealer can get it into spec after lowering

Bumping this up. I am booked for an alignment on Monday and would love to see where people are setting specs, especially if you stray from stock. I have always felt BMW is a bit aggressive with Toe settings and tires aren't cheap...LOL

Here is mine. I decided to go custom and dial out all the toe BMW calls for. For daily highway purposes this is way less darty than oe spec. Should see better tire wear too

I'm confused, isn't the toe range on your sheet OEM ranges? I thought that this vehicle called for roughly .1deg of total toe per axle which is what I'm seeing on your sheet.

No, which is why the sheet says "Modified". Here is an example of OEM spec "after" and calls for rough .3deg of total toe on avg. Mine is well below that.

You're getting the Dinan kit installed soon, right? Any particular reason for not following their alignment specs?

No reason, simply wanted to join the discussion just in case some new revisions were talked about.
