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

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
