ASS can’t do one tomorrow, but I need to get an alignment tomorrow morning. Alignment will be to OEM specs, but I’d like to be able to sit in the car while it’s happening. The car is a 2002 BMW M3. Someone get back to me plz! ---

$20 says whatever bootleg joint that does it says the rear toe isnt adjustable. Edit: Buy Adam new scales, string setup, and camber gauge in exchange for x free alignments. Seriously. Prob forever solved. ---

Presumably to have a more real adjustment seeing as if Chris isn’t in the car the alignment will never be an issue as it will be stationary. ---

The more weight in the car (and obviously I’m no K20 Joey when it comes to weight), the more the suspension is compressed. If I get an alignment w/o me in the car, then sit in the car, the camber can change a bit as the suspension is compressed. If I sit in the car while being aligned, the camber and suspension geometry will be the same as when I am on track. > [@tirerack.com](#): > > When aligning a vehicle, it’s appropriate for the vehicle to be carrying its “typical” load… Additionally, when a vehicle is used for autocross or track events, some racers will sit in their car, or have the alignment shop “ballast” their vehicle to include the influence of the driver’s weight on the suspension angles. ---
