What setup for camber, alignment etc. would you recommend for stock suspension (only camber bolts) for non-track street only use?
I'm going for 225/40 18 Continental Sportcontact 5 and just want less understeer without wearing the tires fast. Thanks :-) |

Oh, I agree, but other than over torqueing it with a rattle gun, it's a possibility. Much more likely is that someone has crossed or stretched the threads on the studs by over torqueing them during installation. |

yeah, especially at a tire shop where they are in a hurry and shooting every lug nut start to finish with big rattle guns.

My suspension questions since I'm thinking about camber plates:
How durable are they? And do they require extra maintenance? I race SCCA RallyCross at the National level, and occasionally Auto-X too. I'm looking at the Raceseng Cas/Cam front upper mounts and will be staying on the stock springs/shocks and struts because I need the stock ground clearance. Am I going to break the mounts? Will dust/dirt ruin the bearings in short order? Are the adjustments/hardware solid enough to take hard use on unpaved surfaces?

Anyway, RCE Tarmac II Clubsports would work well at 5 points. 500/500 rates are no problem at all with them. - Andy |

The flexibility of the 2 way Tarmac 2s helps quite a bit for tuning for bumps (not having compression and rebound tied together or only adjusting one). That said Ohlins are fantastic. We tracked both extensively back to back and our home circuit is not very smooth. Very happy with both. The Ohlins don't go very low and are a little bit of a pain when switching spring rates FYI. - Andy |

I want to be able to get between 2 and 3 degrees of camber at stock ride height. That said, do the RaceSeng parts alter ride height/ground clearance any? I really don't want it to sit any lower (I've made use of the factory skid plate a few times), and don't want to raise the nose too much and mess up the handling balance.

Well I would like coilovers but was a little hesitant because of the price, some early issues people were having with the eibach kits, and the fine tuning it would take to find the right settings/alignment. Would you recommend any particular eibach coilover kit?

Ok thanks, start somewhere else as in coilovers and use sways to fine tune? Which of the 3 eibach coilover kits would you recommend? I was a little weary because a few people on the forums were having some early issues with them, but I'm sure eibach has resolved those issues since then.
