is it possible to find a good condition Blisteins for fto?
and what do you guy think if -1.5 camber on the front and -1 at the back?

P.S. for those who interested in my HKS front bar, i'm so sorry to keep you guys waiting, but the insurance company just drive me crazy, and i can say that, the front bar is still in fair condition, just need a respay, no structural damage, no deform and stuff like that, if you guys still interested in this, feel free to give me a pm, i promise i will reply asap=] and the price is reduced to 190, so come and grab it=]

no need to camber for everyday use, only when you take it out on a track.

As for bilsteins, i would suggest looking into getting some teins as they seem more available for the fto....not too sure though, maybe someone here with bilsteins can shed some light.

BS, that amount of canber will be great.

Im running in the -2's and get a bit of inside wear but f**k it corners unbeliavably. So i think that will be a good balance of grip vs tyre wear

It would corner unbelievably, but why is that necessary in everyday stop-start traffic, you'll just be wearing the insides quicker. Your not taking corners at 80+ km/hr are you

Well i suppose at the end of the day its all about your driving style and the environment ibn which you drive.

If your doing nothing but highway driving or city and you dont hardly ever go fro runs thens yeah i probably wont worry about camber. However if your anything like then me then go for it

and yes i take all corners at 80km lol

agree actually from factory they have around -1 camber already, Irun just a little over -2 and as simon says handles awesome

Yep, I run -1.5 front and back.

Even with trackdays it still takes me a year to demolish a set of tyres.

I have bilsteins

I love my car, it handles awesomeliy haha.

Having said that - don't worry so much about whether you can get bilsteins, Teins will make such a difference over stock suspension, i doubt you'd even notice the difference between them and bilsteins.

Damn you nic

how you get that, i'm using G4 for a years, not very happy of it
and which tein model will suit fto? mono flex???if it's a super street, i better keep the G4 but bet a harder spring

i have cusco, and they feel awsome, though i havnt driven an fto with teins ect

Tein SS are awesome. They're a 5/4 kilo spring.. the biggest difference imo is when you've dialed out the under/over steer
