any sure fire tests for suspension tuning?

I just recieved and installed the K2RD suspension combo A. Went in for the most part with out a problem. Now that I've got it in, I don't know where to start with the tuning process. I raised the coils so that the car isn't dragging on the ground all the time and set the camber to almost 0 degrees, just for now. Do you guys have any recommened ride heights, camber settings, toe settings, or shock settings? what arangement has given you the best results?

Contact Paul at K2RD or cymfc3s. I'm sure Seth will be more than happy to share is input with you. He runs the same setup and has a nicely done S5 FC.

I haven't spent extended time driving one with the setup to dial it in. But know this will get you a good answer quickly.

You will need more negative camber. Negative 2 degree is a decenty aggressive number, with -1 to -1.5 a little more tire friendly. In general, a lower car is better. Lower it until the ride quality goes to ***. You want 0 toe, for tire wear...a little toe in if anything. Toe out will give you more responsive steering but tires will wear like a motha. Also, toe out can get sketchy on the highway.
