The .08 is toe in I believe based on appearance and reading others alignments (positive number being toe in, negative toe out). I will confirm with the shop tomorrow. They are a decent shop but I had to get in as I had almost 4 degrees of camber and 1.5 degrees of toe on one side after install. I missed an appointment the day before at a more specialized shop due to install difficulties. I have nothing to adjust caster unless it can be done stock. I only have the UCA camber bushings in the rear so I need to go back and talk to the tech to see what is left on the table. I had left him with specific numbers (camber -2.2 front, -1.7 rear; zero toe all around) and he made it sound like this was as close as he could get it. |

He said that .08 is acutally "zero" toe since it is in the middle of the factory range. I looked confused and he said this is a very common misconception that a measured toe of.00 is not actually straight in the sense of 0 like camber. Is this accurate? If not I will try putting the toe back to zero and go from there before adding more camber back in the rear. |

Positive toe is toe in which should not cause oversteer. I think part of it is tread squirm. A little more rear camber should help...the -1.7 you were hoping for is about right. If you're bored, try swapping the tires front to rear and see how it feels. - Andy |

I agree that the W63414 is the PFR69-810, based on the title. |

Hi CSG/RCE team,
I have a question to ask, not sure if its been posted here, but i am kinda lazy to read thru all the pages.. Am looking to change my current setup to a REALLY comfortable coilover setup and based on a fellow forummer's review and a well made video review, i have been led to believe that RS*R Black-i is the way to do (for my budget). "More comfortable than the stock setup" has been mentioned a couple of times in the review of the Black-i vs Sports-i vs the something else-i. My question is: The Black-i has a spring rate of 7F/7R while the sports-i (supposedly less comfortable) has a spring rate of 6F/7R. While i believe the dampers are tuned differently, can a coilover with a stiffer spring rate really be that much more comfortable?? Isnt the role of the springs to absord the shock?? Sorry for the long ass question, i am really picky about ride comfort. It must be softer and more compliant that stock setup! Thanks!! |

comfortable is subjective but I have been in cars that are more comfortable than the oem set up (Ohlins is one of the few for me)@CSG Mike gave me a ride in his custom valved SRC set up and told me to guess the rate. after I have heard what it actually was it blew my mind away. not only did it handle the corners phenomenally, but it also rides way more comfortable than the oem set up (for me).

To answer your question, YES you can improve ride comfort while still increasing spring rates. BUT the damper likely won't be cheap. A very important note: better than stock to one may be much worse than stock to another. It depends on your roads, your expectations, and what kind of bumps bother you. Many will say that their set-up rides "better than stock" but in reality, it's just "different than stock." I've been on coilovers that swallow up wheel bending potholes without issue, but make the man boobs you didn't know you had jiggle all day going down a concrete stretch of highway. And vice versa...coilovers that are smooth as silk on mostly good but maybe a little choppy pavement, and they make you hit your head on the ceiling on a larger sharp bump. Both of the above were running stiff rates and could have used some damper tuning. With a little more work they could have had the best of both worlds. So yes, you can make a coilover with firm rates ride smoothly. It will, however, be easier to make a system that rides well if you're sticking with mild/medium rates as long as you have the travel and good damping. The really excellent damping needed to make very stiff rates ride well generally costs some decent money. - Andy |
