    Exclamation Alignment specs for ZHP unique or not?

    This was discussed somewhere else and now I can't find it - I will be getting new tires (Conti DWS - staggered OEM sizes) soon, and an alignment - hopefully it will cure the steering wheel vibration that occurs at around 80 mph - probably a mixture of out of balance and worn out OEM tires and out of alignment (25k miles on the car right now). i am gonna have the shop check the CABs at the same time, too.

    However I need to make sure that I get the correct alignment - are the ZHP alignment specs different than sport pkg or regular 330Ci? I need to make sure the shop is aware of this, and also possibly need to find a source to get the spces IF they're indeed unique to the ZHP.


    Thanks in advance for any feedback/info on this matter

    Not special. Use the Sport Package settings.

    Ah, Thanks! - glad to be 'not special' in this case, as it simplifies things...
    ...so i guess the 'more negative camber' thing with ZHPs is a myth, huh?

    All ZHP owners should strive to have this much negative camber.

    For those of you with lowered cars, the stock alignment may need to be tweaked. Lowering changes suspension geometry.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    That's why you should get an alignment after a drop.

    Thanks for all the clarifications - my car is all stock so now I know which specs to use, which i am pretty confident the shop also does - just wanted to be sure that they didn't have to do anything, um, special with the ZHP when they do the alignment.
