    DIY alignment

    There was a diy alignment thread shared (could have even been from the old forums) that I can't find via search. Does anyone have access to it?

    I am trying to calculate the correct distance from hub to string for front and rear accounting for track width difference.

    TIA

    The front track is 59.4 in/1508.76 mm and rear is 60 in/1524 mm. There are diagrams on google and other resources. So the string should be about 8 mm further from the front wheels on each side. This is assuming stock wheels.

      Earlier this year I had it in mind to write up & share my matured process for aligning the E46 M3 chassis.

        String alignment setup spreadsheet - NA M3 Forums

        I wanted to share the my alignment spreadsheet with this community. It's applicable to anyone doing a string alignment at home, with whatever tools and methods you're using. I previously shared a link to a similar version in someone else's thread, but I have progressed this file a bit since then. Google docs to my setup

          Thanks for sharing these. Although these are great, they're not the thread I'm thinking of. I don't remember enough detail to describe it.

            You just need to get the left and right the same. I don't think there is a correct distance. All you are trying to do is make a box around the car.
