Anybody out there know anything about HKS CUSCO suspension. I'm just getting some fitted to my car and wondered if anybody knows anything about some starting points for settings. (damper settings, geometry etc.)
Cheers

Turns out to be CUSCO top mounts and dampers, with HKS springs, and I haven't driven it yet so no feedback. Donington on Sunday should be good though!

And dependant on the feedback, I have got a second hand set for sale (Cusco) on behalf of a local importer. I also have a set of Tein HA for sale (second hand again from the same source) which is currently on my car.

Read Phil Bennett's comments under events regarding my car with Cusco suspensions and HKS springs. It is VERY hard for the road though.

Maybe it's just Prodrive, I thought they were charging for their kit in dollars for a while, but then someone confirmed that they really do charge that much in pounds! 
Always wondered about the mm versus degrees thing myself. I think it's to confuse the guys who try to set the car up. I have contacted/been to about 6 different alignment places in the past, only two of them knew how to convert the figures and use the kit, only one of them actually knew how to setup the suspension to the customers requirements rather than from supplied numbers!
BTW: Toe out on the rear will induce a fair bit of oversteer, possibly too much to catch easily depending on how much to you use!

Hey Stuart -looks like you got the set-up about right!!!
Guys this car is going to be the business on slicks - if you want a track day car you could do worse than copy the set-up on Stuart's car. It is very very good.
