I'll try in here since noone posted on my thread

just recieved my new set of BC coilovers with camber adjustment all round and castor on the fronts

Now I'm a complete novice when it comes to this so how do I set them up ?

I have a V3 Type R, its not a daily drive just a weekend toy really. I will be doing a few track days this year and the car spends alot of its time on the B roads so can someone suggest a good setup for me please ?

Obviously when I've fitted them it'll be going for its 4 wheel alignment I would just like to have a set of figures/angles to tell them to set it to




I'm not fussed about what it looks like really i just want the best handling I can get

Thanks

Im just speaking to a couple of our sponser guys who have far more experince of serious Impreza set up than I do to get some details for you. I can give some normal settings but want to give more detailed advice.

Are you guys aware that the BC Racing Impreza won Time Attack Pro last weekend? It also runs KSport brakes all round. And that the BC Racing S15 won the Pirelli European Drift Championship?

And that the KSport Impreza came third in Time Attack Pro despite not having 3rd or 4th gear.

And, oh yes Im still going, Fee came third in Time Attack Club Pro again with BC Racing ER Series coilovers and KSport brakes.

We are involved with just four cars this year and at the first event of the year two of them won outright and the other two both got on podium. How cools that

Might be a bit of a struggle for them lol. Probably best to phone to be honest, it'll be quicker than going through all the possible set ups on here
