<E34> Alignment Specs

[Pearson-Franks Family <pearsonf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Jeff:

After putting camber plates in our E28, I asked the same
question of the Digest(s).  No joy directly, but in the
ensuing dialogue with Duane Collie, he opined -2.5ish
camber for the fronts was in the right ballpark.  I was
looking in particular to even up the tire ware in front,
as well as garner some cornering improvements.  I have
yet to do the deed with my E34, but would love to hear
what your experience is.

Oh, yeah:  no large differences noted in the E28 - the
one track day since then was rainy, so a rather different
experience.

Later, Larry F.
