Hey guys,

I've done alot and i mean alot of reading over the past few months and i've come across alot of great information so thought it may be an idea to collate for everyone else to see.

Alot is basic stuff, but the common questions that pop on here everyday are all pretty much answered. If anyone finds anything to add to this please let me know, I shall add some info on staggered tyre setups, Aggressive alignment setups and some other important info but i''ll be writing it my self so may take a little while.

I've posted different threads for related questions, Mods may feel these would be better in this forum :thumbup:

Anyway, hope this is all useful,

Camber Front = -1.5 to -1.75
Camber Rear = -1 to -1.25
Toe front = 0 Toe or 1/32nd toe out
I am now suggesting 0 Toe. Most people won't be able to realize that the car has the toe, especially on the street.
Toe Rear = 0
Are these total sum settings or for left and right individually.. :vconf:
