hi guys finally had my 94 E320 coupe lowered on H&R. What specs do I use to get it aligned now. I recall reading a thread years ago about using the sportline specs. Can someone post that here? I cant find that old thread.

thanks

I have the shop attempt to return the alignment to OEM specs. Can't happen, but you can get pretty close, though you'll have a degree more negative or so camber.

i thought those on H&R were using the sportline specs?

Theses are the alignment specifications that were printed out when my 1995 E320 was aligned after I added the Eibach springs. The Porsche race-tuner mechanic found specifications for Mercedes Benz, 92-95, 124.034, Sport Suspension. I figured the rear camber wasn't specified because it isn't adjustable from the factory, but I had the K-MAC rear bushings so I wanted it adjusted. The mechanic essentially matched the rear with the front for the camber.

Front:
Min, Nominal, Max, Actual Left, Actual Right
Camber: -1.33, -1.00, -0.83, -1.2, -1.1
Caster: 9.92, 10.42, 10.92, 10.5, 10.1
Toe: 0.08, 0.17, 0.25, 0.09, 0.08

Min, Nominal, Max, Actual
Cross Camber: -0.33, 0.00, 0.33, -0.00
Cross caster: -0.50, 0.00, 0.50, 0.8
Total Toe: 0.17, 0.33, 0.50, 0.18

Rear:
Min, Nominal, Max, Actual Left, Actual Right
Camber: NA, NA, NA, -1.2, -1.3
Toe: 0.13, 0.21, 0.29, 0.14, 0.15

Total Toe 0.25 0.42 0.59 0.29

Had mine done at Les Schwab…here are my numbers

Front:
Camber: L (-1.5) R (-1.3)
Caster: L (11.1) R (11.6)
Toe: L (0.20) R (0.23)
Total Toe: 0.43
Steer Ahead: -0.01

Rear:
Camber: L (-3.3) R (-3.0)
Toe: L (0.21) R (0.18)
Total toe: 0.39
Thrust angle: 0.01

Looking at the specs ksing44 posted, looks like I'll have to bring it back to have the
1. Front Camber adjusted again to min of -1.33
2. Front Caster adjusted Max 10.92
3. Rear Camber rechecked…Not sure if it was checked properly…-3 seems excessive

Will post pics later...

Mine was also -3+ after lowering with the Eibach springs. It handled great, but it looked a bit too aggressive and I was concerned about excessive tire wear. I got it adjusted after adding the K-Mac adjustable eccentric rear bushing. The adjustable camber arms look like an easier and less expensive install for the rear camber adjustment if they are still available. I also saw there is a different shorter lower control arm. That looked like possibly the best of the options, but I think also the most involved and expensive.
