1400R's thread is all about that, but its cool, for a R32 castor it up to +8 maybe +9......but on the safer side of you can go +7, the more the better is the theory and plenty of people here will vouch for that.....as for camber, mines running 2 degree's up front and should have none on the rear, but my setup got f***kd up so its got like the same at the rear. I want more camber at the front but thats coz im an idiot, only another degree or 2, just like the look (but dont want the tyre wear lol). Il let u know wat my new settings are 2moro just pm me if im not on by 6ish, and il give u some fully sick specs

Ok heres the story.....got my car back and soo far im impressed with AVS's work. Scott knows his sh*t and is a really top bloke. He isnt telling me the exact adjsutments he did so he keeps getting business (smart i thought). But i gota rough idea and its the following.

Rear: Toe in, quite substantial according to him, coz the other guys put it out(BIG NO NO)

Camber out just a degree in the rear only slight

Front: 2 degree front camber

+9 castor and let me tell u its quite noticeable

All up full drift wheel allignment and settings for an attacking stance. The car handles like a dream although it pulls to the left (following the roads camber) and likes to follow all the humps and bumps, but drifting around corners its sooo much more controllable

Next up sway bars and my rear stabilizer bar which il get them to set and put on.......plus some more power

u dont want too much camber coz ul chew ur tyres, same as castor, +9 is good, but make sure u clear ur front bar, if not ur either cutting sum out for ur tyres or ur reducing castor to around 8ish.......but it make s huge difference, and as for camber 2 degrees maybe 3 is very aggressive. So thatl b fine dude.....other then that have fun and drive

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
