Suggestions for DD/Autocross alignment please

I did use the search function 😀

I have a f30 328i (base car)

H&R FSB and RSB

245-45-17 RE71 R's

Otherwise stock.

I'm new to BMW ( Autocrossed mustangs for years)

What's a good spec to give my alignment shop?

Thanks

Without additional hardware in the front, there's nothing to adjust but toe

Stock alignment has a little toe-in in the front and rear, for starters, zero out the toe in the front and rear then set the rear camber to -2 degrees

That's about all you can do with the stock hardware

+1 on zero toe in front and more rear camber

I'm not 100% sure on the zero rear toe. I personally would like some toe in and perhaps OP could track the car with stock settings to figure out preferences before making the initial alignment change

It's a preference thing. Zeroing out the rear toe destabilizes the rear which helps a long car rotate around the cones.

If you want the rear to stay inside the front tires, keep the toe stock in the rear. If you want the rear to step out a bit, zero it out.
