Here is the question again for the resident suspension experts:

If the alignment were to perform in the non-BMW facility without any weight down, say no driver & just half of a tank of gas, should there be any compensation for the alignment spec such as the camber & toe and by how much?

Thx..

You'll never get the answer. The only way to know this would be to align both ways, on the same machine and compare the measurements - I doubt any has done this.

If so, I'm interested as well!

For the OP, camber and toe were unaffected. I'm running TMS camber plates on a stock ZCP suspension.

Thanks....

I don't know anything about the TMS camber plates, but I suppose that it just provides a wider range of camber adjustment and doesn't change the camber dynamically? Is this for the front only?

Camber plates are on the front. Thought that was obvious . . . sorry.

interesting looking to get an alignment done to my car soon, so this is something to think about while looking for a place to get that done.

For those of us who use the car as commuter, setting the alignment around the middle of the oem spec would probably be ok as the weight appears to have minimal impact.

I do understand that the more demanding drivers will set the alignment according to their driving style.
