E46Fanatics - View Single Post - Tips for establishing ZERO preload on RTABs? (RTAB tool in SoCal?)

Very direct and simple question (hopefully)

I ordered M3 RTABs and I want to know if the best way to align the carrier. I know of the 8mm below hub centerline/straight edge rule, but that's on a stock ride height, correct? How bout being on H&R sport springs? Compensate a little? how much?

Am I overthinking it?

Also if anyone in SoCal (818) has the RTAB alignment tools that I can borrow/rent, that would be great.
