Hey guys I just got my alignment done today on my 550 with H&R Race springs(2" drop). I got it done at Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim (Thanks Hollywoodtrash) They charged me $89.95 plus Tax great shop very fast and friendly service. Ok here's the results they were able to put my car back to pretty close to stock specs after all.

Stock Front Spec
Camber -0.6 to 0.0
Caster 6.6 to 7.6
Toe 1/64 to 3/32

My Front Weels Specs
Front Left
Camber Before -1.1 After -1.1
Caster Before 7.7 After 7.7
Toe Before 0 inch After 1/16inch

Front Right

Camber Before -0.3 After -0.3
Caster Before 7.8 After 7.8
Toe Before 1/32 inch After 1/16 inch

Stock Rear Specs
Camber -1.8 to 1.3
Toe 3/64 to 3/32

My Rear Wheel Specs

Rear Left
Camber Before -2.4 After -1.4
Toe Before 1/16 inch After 5/64 inch

Rear Right
Camber Before -2.4 After -1.6
Toe Before 3/32 inch After 1/16 inch

hmm somethings off with my alignment, I'm not really happy with the rear cambers.

I picked up my car earlier from wheel warehouse..took them 3hrs and they charged $99 out the door which is good. I asked if they roll fenders and they do not :\

I'm not sure why they didnt provide "before" measurements but they only included "actual" stats in my printout.

Front:
Cross Camber: -0.4"
Cross Caster: -0.2
Total Toe: 1/16in

Front:Left
Camber: Actual: -1.0"
Caster: 7.0
Toe: 1/32in

Front:Right
Camber: Actual: -0.6"
Caster: 7.2
Toe: 1/32in

Rear:
Cross Camber: 0.0
Total Toe: 5/32in
Thrust Angle: 0.01

Rear:Left
Camber: Actual: -2.0"
Toe: 5/64in

Front:Right
Camber: Actual: -2.0"
Toe: 5/64in

I need some feedback....are these acceptable?

My Ride: 2006 550i

hate to bring up an old thread but i'm a bit miff at ww. i had my wheels balanced with 20" rims and PS2. well, i rarely drive the highway (only locals for work) and 3 weeks later, i just notice some vibrations at highway speed, 50 plus. everything is fine under 45. called them about it and they gave those lame excuses that their works are not warranty if u don't buy the tires from them and that it could be bad tires.

well, it didn't feel right about their 'excuses' and will be taking my money elsewhere. and i was going to get my alignment from them...NOT.

I got mine done at American tire depot in Glendale,CA for for $89.00 also. They were able to fix the rear camber , but the fronts require something for the struts I forgot what its called.

Wheel Warehouse is friendly I agree, got my wheels installed there. But holey sh*t they are slow, you sit in the waiting room for hours. I suggest don't go on the weekend too busy and go early in the mourning. They have a rep for taking too long.
