I have the BMR parts which do the same thing, albeit heavier but also less expensive. I would have bought these instead if I’d known.

After 7 good track days, I still need some realignment after a track weekend or 2. The parts don’t move they are locked in place and the jam nuts are not coming loose.

I asked my shop in LA about this, JMP Autowerkz, who specialize in BMW track cars. They’ve installed the same spherical parts on many makes/models and say these do not prevent need for realignment. I was a little disappointed and worried maybe I was bending stuff, they said it’s normal and no issue getting car back to desired spec so no bent parts.

E46 or E36? I think I saw an E36 LS M3 in there, those are very badass, a great use of an LS swap IMO. E46 I would keep the M motor if possible, amazing how fast a good E46 track car with basically stock HP can still be at Buttonwillow with a great driver. I think Mohammed the JMP owner said someone was doing 1:50s.

They built a sick ls7 e46 m3 that blew up at buttonwillow lol.

I can’t help it on the curbs I can only go max attack to embarrass the bmw/Porsche crews. Thanks all going to buy these and install. My rear toe literally goes out after one session with these shit stock arms/bolts. Only downside to 1le so far

IMO you should not be going to a dealer for alignment. There are some good tracks in FL as far as I know, there has to be a good performance/track focused alignment or overall performance shop that does great alignment. The best places in Los Angeles charge $120 for track alignment, more for corner balance.

$350 is what dealers might charge when they also have to rotate DSSV camber plates from street to track on a ZLE. Does the SS 1LE have similar camber plates?

You talking about west end? Think they charge 150 now. Or is that just to me...?

Are they $150 now? I go to JMP now because they’re much closer, I think it’s $120 there as well as other good alignment shop in my neighborhood. If they aren’t all $150 I’m sure they will be soon.

Yeah. And just to add jmp doesn’t let you sit in car and uses lasers. Have tried them all and none come close to west end despite the inconvenience
