    Default Rear wheels

    I've installed my Vogtland springs and Koni shocks, I notice that the rear wheels aren't perfectly vertical. When you look at the car from the rear, it looks as if I am carrying a load in the trunk / \. Is there anything that I can do to correct this?

    It's supposed to be pidgeon toed so that you make full contact with the tire tread at high cornering. As was said, it's normal and gives the bimmer more stability at high speed turns.

    its called negative camber and if you look at most racing vehicles they are " loaded" in this fashion so as Thoreau stated, tyres, when cornering need to sit as flat on the roadway as they can. looks kind a cool too

    Hey, me too... Vogtlands on Konis It's not that bad. If you notice excessive wear on the inside (EXCESSIVE), then investigate on a camber kit.

    Now, if your car looks like some ricermobile where the tires are literally 45deg off, then there's a problem.

    negative camber is good if it's not too big, because your rear end will have more grip. it also looks cool
