sold my e46 coupe and got myself a e46 touring for the family, hate stock so ive got a nice set of wheels on it ,tinted windows next week now looking at lowering springs about 35mm ,(bmw forum don't seem to be much help) do I have to do the tracking once ive got this done ,im guessing yes but some say no anyone on here lowerd an e46

It's worth getting the geometry set-up / checked whenever you change the suspension, I can remember lowering my old VW corrado and within 10miles the nearly new tyres were through to the canvas on the edge!!

not so much tracking but make some enquiries about the camber setup, just ring a alingment place up and ask for a bit of advice :)

Hi there mate, I would get it aligned at least.

 

Dunno what BMW forum your on but I'm on BMWForums.info, really good site and plenty of E46 owners that will help you out. Has a much better feel about it than bimmerforums

Hi i fitted spax adjustables to my 320csi i didnt adjust anything on mine it was fine.

I'd always have a full wheel allignment check/adjustment done after replacing shocks or springs etc mate...

 

....And whilst there is a chance that nothing was disrupted during the suspension change, who is to say the settings were right before you started?

My 330d is lowered. To low and it looks stupid so I will be raising up. Camber looks the same as it did Tbh and just done over 1k around Scotland and it was spot on.

Don't forget you might need shorter drop links
