Currently running on 2.2 (fr) & 2.1 (rr) bar, so far felt too loose. Gonna try 2.8 & 2.6 bar later on. Do you guys know what our car alignment spec? Camber, toe? Is the caster adjustable?

I believe I've read something about the toe being adjustable, but not the camber. Not 100% sure.Quote:

Don't set your expectations too high about front camber adjustability -- there's virtually none to be had :frown:
Er no they're not.Only adjustment on the front is for toe.Quote:

Can't you use shims?
Ok.....How are you supposed to adjust Castor, and Camber for when you do a wheel alignment?? Just dosn't seem right.Quote:
