sounds good to me fella..

good stable base for a road car if you give it a bit of stick.
If you do lots and lots of mind numbing motorway miles and are not likely to "see how well it handles" then back the camber off to -1,00 degrees all round.

sory guys its a 2004 wrx wagon. Whiteline antiroll bars, eibach springs, alloy drop links and 18" wheels. it will be mostly used on road with some trackdays.
Was also looking at some more aggressive whiteline settings. what are your thoughts on these ?

thanks

more aggressive settings (camber) would be best suited to a track only car and not a road car. anything more than 1.5 degrees (1,30mins) will significantly increase wear to the inside eges of your tyres.

I wound on 2,28mins of camber onto my front end and 2,18mins on the rear and boy it handles well...
2 problems though, driveshaft joints are complaining LOUDLY.... and they are £205 quid EACH to replace... your choice
inside lane on the motorway is "interesting" when it gets in the HGV ruts.

Not for the faint hearted.

Maybe my settings are not as I think as I have the 'extreme' whiteline settings on my road driven hill climb car which should be as Andy's above and hve no wear inside any tyre and drives dead ahead on the inside lane on the M6 (!)

The car does indeed 'drive on rails', but I do have about 2 x stock caster on the front which will help.

Andy: Hoping to get my car to you this week!

Graham.

We work in Minutes at Powerstation and the total toe in is around +0.04 to +0.10 depending on axle / how much bumpsteer it's got etc..
