Hi there could someone share some 'decent' suspension setting for me that includes
1. Camber
2. Castor
3. Toe
4. SAI
5. Include Angles
6. Front ride height
7. Rear ride height
I know the setting might vary because diff ppl has diff driving style, but i hope someone can share one, which they felt it's good for them. I just want to have a nice setting for my baby... as i just changed the wheels
I have very similar wheels to yours and I have my coilovers set at -35mm at the front and -30 and the back. Not too sure about the other settings though
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
-2.3 camber front
-1 camber rear
0 toe, fr and r
max caster
rear tyre pressures 4psi higher than front tyre pressures
height difference fr to r depends on the spring rate of your coilovers thats the major difference to balance!
thats a lot of front camber for road use try a little less say -1.5 and it will not hurt to toe in the front a little bit
as with more neg camber on front wheel drive the less traction and combined with a flat or bit of toe out it will get incredible bump steer and try to track down any changing surface on th road it can not to mention be extremely difficult in the wet to handle
its easier in the wet cos it slips a bit , but yeah lol, incredible bump steer... you might be able to use the track rod ends off the evo RCA kit from whiteline though to reduce it
Ok i just found my alignment sheet, i was running -1.2 front and rear and that made a huge improvement that was when i first got coilovers. Then when i got new rims it was increased to -2.5. but after talking to a mate who does alignments im taking it to -3.

-3 degree camber? While she'll go round corners like she's on rails, you'll snap your thumbs off trying to hold it in a straight line on a bumpy road... not mention the tyre wear. Ah well... if you're anything like me, I have to replace the front tyres twice a year anyway

think i wont go tht far for the camber... maybe 1 to 2?
is it better to make the front value higher than the rear?
by the way im using G4 coilover, the spring rates are
F: 7.5 kg/mm
R: 7.2 kg/mm
and i found tht the rear's quite floaty and bumpy
is there any way to solve this? increase/decrease the rear tyre pressure? 32psi for both front and rear now... lower the rear ride height?
also, i realize that cusco zero 2 has a very diff spring rates
F: 7.0 kg/mm
R: 4.0 kg/mm
Why is it so diff to G4? Are they really better? Also, are ftos coilovers completely the same as mirage and lancer's one?
with the g4's yeah you'd have to lower the back end a lot more than normal to keep the balance of the car ok when you turn in...as it turns out
and you should be able to reduce the rear arb as well if that doesnt work (its too sharp at the back) to a standard lancer one or mirage one (16mm?) 96-2000 4dr, 98-2002 2dr
are the g4's good quality for a cheap coilover? do they rust like teins? i'm scratching my chin at getting some of these instead of revalving the teins with new springs

Mine have been on nearly 2 yrs and have been brillant NO RUST, do teins rust?

R: 7.2 kg/mm

That should be a really stiff spring rate are you sure thats right, i have about 5.2 front and back from memory. When purchasing the G4's i was asked what srping rate i wanted.
Have you adjusted the damper, put it on its stiffest setting, then work your way back to its softest until you find the right setting for your driving.

Thats a lot of camber been running my front at 2.5 and rear at 3 and its awesome to handle but like bennoz said can be a handfull on bumpy straight road but unlike you guys that is my job and I have 24hr access to wheel alignment machine
Also sppedcrushdemon 32psi for 40 profile tyres is bit to low unless you dont mind buying them frequently should be closer to 40 psi mate
I dont know what the difference between the teins and g4's are but i can tell you that going from stock to g4's was nothing short of impressive.
