It works!!!
@ Bluebimma hmm that sucks you had a bad experience.
Finally got a good alignment below is a picture of the result!
Pictures of the resulting "stance"
Left side:
Right Side:
To compare before and after numbers:
Before: Caster: Left 3.0 Right 3.0
Camber: Left -2.3 Right -1.9
After: Caster: Left 4.1 Right 4.0
Camber: Left -2.5 Right -1.5
Give or take ~.2deg for camber, as mentioned before I do have the problem of having one strut up front that has the welded bracket, resulting in different amount of camber for the driver (left) side.
BUT, since the goal was to have streetable camber with the aluminum e46 LCA's I have succeeded. Overall the Camber stayed about the same with a increase in the Caster. Mind you as you can see in the pictures the wheel is basically flush with the fender, and that is with 16x7 ET 47 wheels and tire is 205/55/16, so there is not much room for larger wheels without getting those fenders wider. Also at full lock the tie rod end will rub if the wheel was 15", with my 16" it clears all around perfectly.
Parts used:
- E36 inners and outers with 1mm washers x 4 on inners acting as spacers. (plenty of room for adjustment)
- Solid Offset M3 LCA bushing
- z3m coupe/roadster Offset M hats
- non-M e46 LCA (Looks like this=>):
I still want to play with putting on centered LCA bushing, or just finding a hexagonal one that will fit in the E36 lollipop etc etc, but right now what I got works and I couldn't be happier.
Oh and final cost=
$200 for e46LCA with e36 LCA offset bushing/lollipop (bought from bimmerforums member)
$81 (+ tax) for both sides new tie rods inner/outer - from Ireland Engineering
$50 for Offset z3m coupe hats (picked up from 318ti member)
Total: $331
Not bad considering that wont even buy one e30 aluminum LCA.
EDIT/UPDATE!!: Its been 2~3 years?? And it seems like the e46 LCA mod is common enough that Condor Speed shop made a easy bolt in kit.
