I use the same independant tyre bloke for all my tyres, preferring to buy at the right price online & go to him.

He now has a Hunter 4 wheel alignment set up & I have asked him if he can do it for me, what he said next surprised me. He said, (talking about my e36 track car) you know your car & what you want better than me, come down when I am quiet, I will get it set up & you can play with it yourself!

What can they do, are they easy to use, the car is fully adjustable for track & camber at least, so what advice would you give me in my ignorance, as I do not know what to expect?

That is my whole idea for the day, to come up with a set of angles that others say work, or at least a consensus of readings that appear to work for others, and to work towards these & how much adjustment does what in case the results aren't as expected to maximise my learnings & usefulness going forward.

When I started my track car build I saw what looks like the same list & have referred to it before when I have had issues, now I just want to do a bit of "normalisation" & make sure both sides are the same & at a logical setting.

From there maybe weeks/months down the road I may be able to revisit what I do (assuming he is ok with that) and dabble some more.

He doesn't have a clue, he said that to me, I only need him to operate the equipment, I will be doing everything else.

My plan is to set it up as per a "generic" set of angles for the e36 in track guise & mark everything up, then to come back to experiment with other angles to hone the settings.
