Hi,

I'm looking to have the car set up for fast road use - does anyone know the perfect stance / camber adjustments for this so I'm able to pass the specifics on to the garage?

Thanks,

Nick_Johnson

Depends specifically on your driving style and how you want the car to handle, and how much additional tyre wear you are willing to put up with?

I use

Camber front = -1
Camber rear = -1

Toe out front = 1mm
Toe in rear = 1mm

That's with the thicker rear JDM ARB. You can run more camber but then tyre wear becomes a lot more apparent

Is it possible to adjust the rear on a standard car, or do you need to be the aftermarket adjustable bits?

I have a JDM rear ARB already.

Ah right. Mine is a stock set up - can it still be adjusted?

Not for camber. Toe and caster (trail) can be adjusted however.
