Sweet. :) Before you get an alignment, I recommend you replace the rear trailing arm bushings. They'll effect rear toe, and if they've thrown in the towel, will prevent you from getting a good alignment.

Speaking of which, you're not planning on a stock alignment, are you? That would be such a waste! You should check out this thread:

Drive one that's in good shape. ;) When they're worn out, they're worse than most other thrashed cars. But when you drive one that's been well maintained, it's a whole different monster than the Supra. Though, I love both. :)

It most likely is. Bad RTABs will kill your rear tires with a quickness. Also, take a look at that alignment guide I linked to above, that'll keep your rear tires lasting longer too! Stock BMW alignment sucks!

I rolled over 200K miles on the autocross course yesterday.

This thing destroys my supra in every aspect of autocross.

Sweet! Glad to hear you're still loving it. :) I need to replace my knock sensors. My car is down on power (I'm thinking that's why, if they're designed the same way the Supra's are)

So slow, infact, that a lightly modded vr6 kept up with me this morning. :( Anger, I tell you, anger!
