Default MY06 STI suspension settings

Need some help with my suspension setup on my car.

I am wanting to have 4 wheel alignment set on my car but am not sure of the settings I should be running for the road.

Does any one know the ideal settings for a MY06 STI on Eibach springs?

The springs were on the car when I bought along with Whiteline anti-roll bars and bushes.

Would I also require adjustable canber bolts front and rear and any other extras?

All help is appreciated.

I think a lot of people use the prodrive set up
If your going to get it set up from a professional they must know the settings ???

Using these guys most probably.

They are based in Sheffield. Hope they have the settings required. Do you know if I will require a set of Camber bolts for the fronts and rears?

Cheers for your help.

I originally set mine to the prodrive settings that came with the (prodrive) springs- figured they know what they're doing.

I have, however, tried the settings here and find they work nice too

Cheers mate!

I take it that there is enough adjustment available that I don't require camber bolts!!!

In my humble opinion, you can get enough camber on for road use without camber bolts- which could / would cause excessive tyre wear and other issues; I took one of our ex-cup clio race cars (with 4 degrees neg camber) to a local show on trade plates and it was scary at road speeds.

that good m8 are you running soft on front middle on rear .
i would suggest camber bolts on the rear, you dont need excessive amounts but it gives you the ability to adjust it to within fine limits
cheers geo

Not too sure as I have never Done any suspension work before!

What would I be looking for, I believe there is 3 positions on the ARB's. Which one should it be set at?
