Hunter Wheel Alignment

Finally got round to getting my car checked over. Have hit a number of awful pot holes recently and decided that a bit of alignment tlc was needed.

Wow what a difference mine was toe out at the front and camber out at the rear. As soon as I drove it made me realise I should have done it sooner. My car is just over 2 years old of which I have had it 15 months and not done it previously best £70 i have spent on it. Feels like a new car.

£70 is great for full hunter where are you based? Manchester it's £96/£100

Did you rely on the garage to look up the appropriate alignment settings, or did you request any values in particular?

Thanks!

I just had my m2 aligned using hunter alignment. I used the m235i specs as they didnt have the specs for the m2, so m235i was the closest

Why did you decide to have it aligned in the first instance?
I’m thinking of getting some springs fitted, but I’m concerned about what alignment settings to go for when it’s done. Not sure I’d be comfortable unless I know for sure it’s gonna be right....

I'd definitely research the original M2 alignment specs. M235i has less camber up front so it won't feel as good...this should help if they don't have the specs on hand.
