2018 M5 (non comp) -> 2021 M5 comp/CS geometry?

Hi all,
I have 2018 F90 non comp version. I just received few bits for suspension and while doing it I though I'd redo the geometry. I heard that 2021 F90 Comp has more aggressive camber settings and handles a bit better for it. The CS of course even more.

Is it possible to set my 2018 non comp F90 to 2021 comp version of geometry? If so, does anybody have the settings I would need or know where to find them?

Also -> would the CS be possible? That has even more camber etc. If so - anybody knows the CS geometry settings? Or where to find it?

Thanks a ton all!

Sneak a peak at the Dinan website at their install manual for the suspension kit. Very detailed. Would be interesting to see how their recommendations compare with stock non-comp, comp and cs.

Ah nice! I got the full dinan package - HAS + ball joints + rear link kit. I thought the HAS had recommendation primarily on ... well height . But you're right - they cover it all here.

I wonder if their camber recommendation on p9 (FRONT: -1.3° camber, 7.3° caster, total toe 0.17°; BACK: -1.7° camber, 0.2° total toe) is similar to stock F90 M5 non comp, or comp, or even closer to CS?

They also say that if different camber settings is desired, BMW offers alternate camber arms that allow for both positive or negative adjustment. Does anybody know where?

Thanks!

That is what I would like to do to my 2018 — front monoballs, rear toe links, coilover conversion with mild lowering, and also wider and lighter wheels with wider tires. I already bought to front monoballs but have not I stalled them yet. Will probably just buy the rear toe kit and install both at once and then align. I’ll try that out and then decide what us next — springs/coilovers or wheels.

I'm fitting them to a G30. Would be worth asking if they also fit F90. They should in theory. https://www.aleksracing.com/hardrace...-series-gt-g32
