Hello,

Alk makes a difference to the G.settings.
What must be the new ones.
I am running with :
Camper front max negative and Toe 1mm in front and 1mm rear total.But the rear is a bit unstable on dry roads. Dont know on wet ones... cause in Greece we have no rain for 4 months now.( Weekend will hit 30 Celsious!!)

Hi Elias

I'll swap some of our English rain for some of your Greek sunshine

Might be worth sending am email to the guys at PowerStation about the ALK settings.

The ALK shouldn't affect your toe and camber up front, it increases static caster.
I'd check the alignment anyway just to be sure that everything is OK.

Which in my humble experience does 2 things, decrease lift during accel, since the lifting force goes a bit less linear into the strut, and increases camber while turning.

BUT, as far as I know the ALK only changes caster about 1 degree...

When I fitted the ALK the handling was crap at first.It turned out that fitting the kit had caused the wheels to toe in even though the instructions said it should not affect any of the settings.Once the tracking was reset it was much better than standard.

I found that the ALK made the rear of the car more stable and had the rear toe set to zero to make it a bit more lively.Its strange that the rear is unstable on your car

You don't have an uprated rear roll bar by any chance or different tyres front and rear?

Sorry for been so late in my answer.

I have fitted the rear stiffer sway bar too, setting it to the hardest possition after a while because I had a lot of body roll at the previous settings.At this moment things are better but not just as it was before fitting all that staff.
I mean when was running with light Prodrive setting of 0.75Neg caster front and 1mm front and rear.
The car was absolutely neutral.

Maybe the current settings are wrong but there must be a solution for better and more neutral handling.
