benchmark when getting a KDS set-up at a BMW

[Mark CSL]

"Front Axle

Castor (left/right) = +7 deg 13 mins /+7 deg 12 mins
Toe out on turns (left/right) = -1 deg 48mins / -1 deg 58mins
Camber (left/right) = -1 deg 57mins / -1 deg 53mins
Toe (left/right/total) = +0 deg 01mins / +0 deg 01mins / +0 deg 02mins

Rear Axle

Camber (left/right) = -0 deg 52mins / -0 deg 49mins
Toe (left/right/total) = +0 deg 02mins / +0 deg 04mins / +0 deg 06mins
Geometric Driving Axis = +0 deg 01mins

Remember, -1 deg 60 min is the same as -2 degrees"

"BMW dealers will only be able to achieve up to -2 degrees, more likely -1.75 degrees since they will not (for obvious warranty reasons) rotate the strut or remove the locating pin. With the locating pin removed you can get nearer -2.5 degrees with the OEM strut. Also rear toe will make quite a difference to agility into corners.

But remember the greater the camber the less directionally stable the car will be. Not a problem on track or on smoother roads, but more effort on bumpy cambered b-roads. -2 degrees is perfectly comfortable if you like to feel the road through the steering wheel"
