New suspension settings :)
Hey guys,
I finally got to drive the car today after the sway bar install w/ the rest of my energy suspension urethane kit and the Tein upper pillow ball mounts with my new alignment settings. The car feels terrific!! Here are my current alignment settings if anyone would like to use them as a reference after installing camber plates and coilovers:
Front Camber: -1.75
Front Toe: +0.05
Rear Camber: -2.5
Rear Toe: +0.05
I suspect after my low compression motor (to more safely convert to a Turbo) is complete, the aggressive negative camber in the rear will be an issue with a quick spooling 300 HP turbo setup but for now the car doesn't have enough power to break the rears loose under full throttle entry to a high speed corner...it just stays PLANTED!! The Tein mounts are made with outstanding quality and are an nice inexpensive upgrade for all of us with Ground Control coilovers and these mounts won't affect ride height like the GC setup nor are they noisy. My brother just became a Tein dealer a couple of months ago so these are readily available if anyone is interested...let me know.

Like I said, with the added power of a turbo it'll have to change...launching at the drag strip would be wasteful and high speed turns would be a lot harder to negotiate. But as for now, the car takes a really nice line. Besides, the factory setup recommends more negative camber in the rear than the front and short of drifting or circuit racing, it's what I've seen and heard of in front engine rear drive cars.
