2.5 - camber is going to be awfull on our roads... the car will pull all over the place when you go over bumps... and you will eat through tires

Are you fucking mad lad........ Jesus christ i wouldn't give them lads a wheelbarrow to set up......... Them lads wouldn't even know what camber is...... Ionly live down the road from there and i wouldn't step foot in the place.......

Send it down to wez or someone who knows what there at...... It might be a bit of a spin but if you think anything of your car it'l be worth it in the long run.......

Seen your car in the top shop at kilmoon cross last week...... Nice bus but id ditch yhe spoiler for a lip one it'd look much better imo....... :D

The alingment need to suit the power the wheel tyre combo and the driving style. What works for one may not work for another.

negative 2.5 on front camber is lethal on a wet road think about it u have less of the tyre making full face contact with the road, as pointed out above advace pitstop=fail wez=win

yea well mine had a good bit of negative camber(dunno how much,hadnt got it on the road long enough to get laser aligned)but the car never was good at braking.the brakes were perfect but it would always go into a skid something i reckon could be sorted with a good setting up.ive heard only the best of things about jstoneracing.was thinking of getting the car set up there:cool:

For road use max 1.25 deg neg camber on the front and 5 deg castor. Towed in 1.5mm

On the rear the camber should be 0.25-0.5 max negative. Towed in 1mm

Wont eat tyres and will have the best all round grip.

well just an update to this
went to WKDImports,and the fellas sorted me out with some settings.
top lads up there even tho its1hour and 30 away its worth it.
car feels great now and will be dealing with them in the future
not just with alignment but with parts also.
