After fitting Eibachs to MY00 UK spec (so OEM dampers) with 1mm toe in all round and -0.75deg camber on the fronts previously set, when should the geometry be reset - immmediately or after they have settled (which Eibach say doesn't occur)? And will I notice an improvement in cornering by going to maximum equal negative camber rather than -0.75 as set by Falkland originally? Whilst maintaining fairly even tyre wear? Should the geometry be any different with Eibachs?

John,
I'd probably let them settle in for a short while, maybe a few weeks after usual a-b-road antics.
Not sure if the suspension geometry will need adjusting, I think the new ride height may mean re-adjustment would be necessary but not 100% sure. I;d ask someone like Powerstation. They give you a print out before and after of all the settings so you'll be able to see what they've had to do.
cheers

I happen to have spoken to PS today RE: Eibachs and Anti-Lift together. In this case you must do it straight after.
I think I would get it done to be on the safe side straight away anyway, even if I was only changing to the Eibachs. After seeing how much difference being correctly aligned can make, it's worth it.
