I have changed all the bushings in the rear to solid and Im getting ready to get it aligned under load does the camber go in or out and what should I set it at for drag racing.I was also thinking of putting about 200lbs in the trunk to simulate the rear squat for the alignment.

for drag racing, you might want slight positive camber when at rest, since it will go negative as it squats.

200lbs in the trunk then set it to zero might be pretty reasonable way to go about it.

i would set the toe to zero as well, to reduce rolling resistance

for drag racing I'd say just sell it and get a mustang with a Job Spetter honkin' T66 or larger single turbo on it and a live axle ford 9", strange 31 spline axles and a spool... :dunno

thats silly, get a camaro

I like the camaro idea,But why buy one I have a 11 sec bmw now street driven with A/C :D

jmott thanks thats how I will set it up

I respect your power and all......I just dont get drag racing a BMW.....




.....just seems so much easier and cheaper to do up a Chevy or Ford.....

doesn't really make sense autocrossing them either...cheaper and easier to do a miata

but a/x makes sense in that they handle well, are agile, etc...blah blah.



Drag racing........a whole diff ball of wax.

Don't be hatin' on the drag racers. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't mean others aren't allowed to either. :nono

Scott

BMWs have decent power to weight ratios also.

Ulysses, you want to videotape your launch and use this to tune your suspension settings until you get it right. At launch your rear end should be a zero camber.

This usually means positive camber at rest. It's a trial and error process!

Kenny like the earlier post said should toe should be set at zero.
Also 200lbs in the trunk when alignment is done sound logical.
