Upgrading suspension. Need advice on wheel alignment

Postby fecat » Thu Dec 03, 2009 8:21 pm

I am going to install a set of adjustable coilover, front and rear adjustable swaybars 24 and 16 mm respectively. The installer is actually coming to my place to do the installation and will be able to do the wheel alignment as well.

I am going to upgrade the front brake pad (Hawk ceremic) with the Motul RBF600 at the same time. The tyre is standard 16 inches with Dunlop Lemans, which has about 30 % thread left. I am going to upgrade the tyre to Kumo KU31 soon.

I like to the car to be neutual. I would say I do spirit driving at the mountain once a month, then visit track probably once in a quarter.

Just wondering what would be the best setting suitable to the above. Like the camber angle and toe in/out, anything that can be adjusted?

thanks for any advice.

Best advice I can give is to take your car to Spinning Wheel in Waterloo, my car felt really sorted after a trip there!

Get Stu to give you the "sports" alignment.

what broady said.

tell stu exactly how you want the car to behave, and he will dial in what you need. if you don't like it, bring it back and he will fine tune it for you for no extra charge.
