nice, that looks perfect!

how did they get it right?

that increased caster is going to help on-center feel significantly.

It feels ten times better...I was really amazed. Impressive that you know that, lol.

I think they drilled out the pin on the shock tower. Not positive, but it's right so I'm happy!

Caster is the same spec on the E46, no matter the control arms. Correct?

Im not sure, actually.

Going for new tires and alignment tomorrow. I just want to verify that these specs are applicable to an entirely stock suspension ZHP (nothing aftermarket)

Just print out one of the specs sheet from this thread and give it to the guy.

Everyone's spec sheets differ slightly plus some guys are lowered, I'm asking if the above PDF is the recommended base to get as close to as possible.

That says coupe so idk about that specific pdf...

They'll do it by VIN so as long as they use 99-05, E46 Sedan w/ Sport and 18" wheel option you'll be fine. I've gone to the dealer for both the alignments I've gotten. If I lower or change anything from stock I'd go to an indy...but otherwise the price is reasonable and I'm sure it'll be spec'd right.

-2 degrees of camber in the rear is a lot. The fronts are fine but should probably be closer to -.5

Dropped the car off at tire discounters and instructed them to spec it to 02-05 sedan/sport suspension/18s. We shall see how they do it.

That is true. But you could have used my sheet that I have posted.

The rear does call for -2 degrees of camber. On my wife's car, I had them set it at -1.5.
Front has more but that is because the pins have been pushed out.

Beat me to it on the rear. The fronts are closer to -.5 if pins are not punched out. With pins... -.7 to -1 is feasible.
