rob275 1817 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 I have mine lowered approx 30mm, camber is currently set at -1.5 degrees on the front & rear (don't know why) I want -2 on the front. Toe I just don't understand, happy to scan in my hunter printout if you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Drop 25/21mm. Camber 2 degrees front, 1.75 degrees rear. Toe parallel front (stock), a bit less toe in on the rear depending upon how twitchy you want it to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinA 695 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 My first settings on Coil overs 18" wheels and 25mm lower Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Too much camber really. The trouble is you risk wearing your tyres unevenly. It's all about how it feels to you though, but you'll need a trackday to understand that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all about how it feels to you though, but you'll need a trackday to understand that. My camber was -3.2, somehow shifted a whole degree out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB 20 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Ok, thanks. Still sorting my front anti roll bar which won't clear the wishbone :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevinA 695 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 We will see, camber and inner tyre wear is drastically affected by toe settings. It's about how the car feels, not worried about getting 10kout of a set of tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Why won't your anti roll bar clear the wishbone? Is it standard? I'm on BC's, lowered between 45/50mm, 1deg camber front 1.25 rear, 0.5 toe out on the front and 0 at the back. Had no issues with the roll bar though, something's up with that... The only issue I have is now that it's that low at the rear the loading on the height adjustment for the lights is way to high so my dip beam is crap...

DaveB 20 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Think the roll bar was faulty; manufacturer left too much metal on at the ends so it was too long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB 20 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Eibach roll bar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Ahh I'm on standard roll bar so sounds like there could be an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaveB 20 Report post Posted August 3, 2014 Or the roll bar deformed and the end bent inwards. But seems v unlikely! The trouble is you can only buy them in pairs. Only eibach in make 25mm diameter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted September 1, 2014 Haha, I get about town just fine in it, just can't straddle the square bumps they put in the centre of the road. I did have an oval section put in the exhast where it drops under the rear subframe though to minimise scrapping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
