All alignment specs are within the OEM cars recommended numbers.

Have you tried backing in? A buddy of mine has a similar issue with his 911 but by backing in he has been able to overcome it. Note sure if the dimensions of the M2 are more favorable backing in but it might be worth trying it out.

You know, that's not a bad idea. Honestly hadn't crossed my mind. Were that to work, I'd have to rearrange the garage. I have a ton of stuff next to my passenger door side and park wide right to give the kiddo plenty of room to get into either of our cars from the middle of the garage.

Will have to give it a shot. Maybe there is hope that doesn't require moving. Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know about where you do your alignment and if they have data for the M2 but it should use the same as the stock car so shouldn't be an issue. I posted my alignment in another thread about alignment.

I personally rarely use the factory specs.

Touch of toe out and as much camber as stock struts will allow - usually not much

This provides eager turn in, but also somewhat twitchier
