Z4 Specs when lowered with H&R Springs

I just had my 07 Z4 Coupe lowered utilizing the H&R springs. do any of you have the lowering specs that the car needs to be set at when aligned i.e. tow, camber etc?

Off topic but can you please post a picture? I have these springs waiting to go in but am afraid it will be too low.

Looks great! Not too low. Would you like to see the stock "Sport package" alignment specs? I have those somewhere.

hi, car looks great, but very low at the back, did you put in a 15mill pad there as most people recommend? i agree 15 mill might be a tad much, but 7.5 to 10 should be perfect..

but yeah your car looks the goods

Thanks Sir. no pad at all. the rear doesn't sit low at all. it sits perfect. I looks lower in the back due to the angle I took the pic.
