Re: Wheel Alignment Figures
I raised my ride height last night and I can now get in and out of my driveway. When I get my alignment I'm going to try those 949 settings.

Re: Wheel Alignment Figures
I just had mine aligned after getting Koni Yellows installed. Now have 0.5 - 0.6 deg camber on the front with slight toe-in (can't remember the exact figure), 1 deg camber on the rear with slight toe-in and around 4 deg caster. Car is 100% street at the moment. With the firmer shocks it feels so much more planted on cornering, and with less dive at the front it is much more confidence-inspiring. I've never tried to run more camber on the front than rear, maybe more for race cars than road cars?

Hi
Having been pretty fussy myself for my motorkhana focused NA Ive been very happy with the guys at Platinum Auto at Ferry Rd, Bundall, not too far from the Tweed. They do a lot of Drift cars and the usual alignment guy there is pedantic and takes ages getting what you want (if you know what you want). I have no affiliation with them - just a happy customer of theirs, numerous times. Tim is the guy to talk to if you are looking for an alternative.
