sweet - i the springs are installed and I set the alignment at -1.6 front and -.7 rear. I will probably move the rsb to the middle setting next weekend when I take of the race pads and put back on the stock pads. Also need to take a look at the left front spring - is making a noise so we might have not got it set correctly in the runner boot...it also feels less stiff etc...

 

what setting are you guys using for TEin-s with stock suspension?? because iam getting an alignment on monday.....

 

my daily driver is set to -1 front camber -.5 rear, and 0 toe all around. It seems to have a lot more turn in and the rear breaks out easily. I believe much of the loose rear end is due to the Kuhmo 712s though. BTW my car has stock suspension.

 

I just want good setup so it wont ruin my expensive stock tires.... (in front)????? anyone.

 

Have it aligned back to stock specs.

 

for autoxing i run:

-2.5 cam front
1/8" toe out

-1.3 cam rear
0 toe

But the rears about to change cuz I'm adding a Cusco sway and strut bar. Most likely gonna run a little more neg. in the back. Also my current rear setting is not where I wanted it. I didn't want so much neg. camber and I wanna a 1/16" toe in but the factory eccentrics were maxed out.

Keep in mind if you want the car to rotate (oversteer) more, you wanna run less neg. camber and no so much toe in (if any at all) in the rear.

For the street, i'd recommend ( don't drive mine on the street):
-1.5 front
1/8" toe in
and leave the rears alone. This will hurt steering response and cause a little understeer but will help tire wear.

 

I have an otherwise stock EVO with S-Techs....

I'm running with:

-1.3 degrees front camber and 0 toe
-0.7 degrees rear camber and 0.1 degrees toe rear (factory setting)

The car has a tendancy to understeer at the limit with neutral throttle applications, as soon as I get on the throttle the car's grip becomes more neutal and it pulls hard through the turn with no under or oversteer. Turn in is much improved over stock, the ride is more harsh, and the car does have a tendancy to follow the pavement much more.

My car originally had the front camber set on the factory setting that is more positive, so that may be why I see more of a difference than some others that didn't see an improvement with their springs.

992gnt: whats the stock spec? Front: -1.8 ? Rear: -0.7 ? and 0 toe front/rear ???

 

Mine settings on stock suspension are:
Camber: -1.7/-0.5 F/R
Toe: 0.0/0.0 F/R

Lots less understeer than stock, but still no oversteer at the limit. If anything it's neutral. Went around a fairly sharp turn at an ::edited:: and tried modulating the throttle to get the rear end to swing around to no avail.
