If you can ignore (and get past) some of the emotional interchanges in this thread ( including from me!.... shame !).... I still think there is useful info in here--->

What are your suggestions for alignment settings?

My pleasure.... here's another one...but it gets a bit more techy and a bit more off beat too..as it includes esoteric stuff like corner balance ...still I think there is other good stuff here, too--->

Alignment results ???

Are you going to replace tie rods, ball joints or dampers? Are you going to do it yourself? The latter above mentioned really brings it to the point. The man who alings it should have expertise to corner balance it, and do it if necessary. The way you set the height (how much below Euro height to tell him to set it to) and the camber determines how the car feels to the driver. Good thread. You will appreciate the handling improvements from all this. Remember reverse throttle oversteer and you are on line.

Regards,

Thanks again for further links.

I am looking to improve the handling of my car as I start to do more track days. As it stands at the moment, I am going to:

upgrade to 28mm rear anti roll bar
-1 degree negative camber at the front
-1.5 degree negative camber at the rear

BReyes - there is no way I could do this myself!
