So you've installed coilovers and you want to hit the track. But what about getting an alignment. It could be the most important mod you can do...

Good information. My E46 M3 is a weekend/track car and I run -3.5F/-2R camber with 0 toe. I find that this is a great midway point between street and track use. Tires actually last me a good while and they still perform at the track. Toe is the tire killer, not camber most of the time.

+agentmike45 Yea I don't think I'll be able to get that camber sadly. As long as my rear has about 1 degree less than the front I'll be OK

I understand. I'm running an aftermarket camber kit on both front and rear. I really recommend if you plan on getting some serious track time, which by the looks of it you are! Good luck at your upcoming time attack event.

There you go again being all helpful and genuine LOL. The best explanation of under and oversteer I've heard. My 330CI ZHP comes with a fair amount of negative camber from the factory. It's got some M car DNA but not a true M car. It must be exhilarating to take your car to a track and push it to its limits in a generally safe manor. I think my cheap China tires would show their limitations pretty quickly haha, but it would be fun to find that out! Great video and very informative as always, thank you!

Great video. Thank you for the info. Big fan of throttle house! I have a Veloster N. She is my daily and weekend autocross warrior. I currently have the stock suspension and stock alignment. Do you recommend Camber bolts to get a few degrees (-1.5°) of camber on the front? Is it a reversible DIY change that I can do before and after a track weekend?

I love the common misconception that companies setup alignments to understeer. Factory suspension specifications are made to create even tire wear and have stable handling for 99% of the driving population. The problem with understeer and oversteer characteristics is the tires and suspension travel. Thus the reason understeering is the first sensations with increased speeds.

My question is a bit off topic but I'm thinking about getting an E46 328i or 330i as my first car. Is there a model year where you get the reinforced subframe on the pre face lift model?

+TheLuckyDawg24 the way I understand it is that they are all at risk. But pre facelift are more prone to it.

They're both prone to subframe failure, but face-lift models are a bit sturdier. If it's just going to be a daily driver, I really wouldn't worry about it.

-2 Camber is a decent performance street tyre number, once you get onto grippier rubber and start making more lateral G's you'll need some more, but that's say stage 2. On my 1st time attack car I get the toe at 0 front and rear as I was tweaking other thing, the idea being once finished I would have a final balance adjustment. My current Time attack car is very very well balanced. I hope it's not too spamy but (and delete the comment if you want man if you think it is too spamy) If you look at my recent Japnats videos (just the PB lat time will sow it, I won't add a link unless you request it) it demonstrates the balance you're talking about very well, and also the driving techniques used to counter/work with it.
