Re: Suspension settings
Why "especially in the back:?<br>The Type 44's are very nose-heavy, and need more camber in the front.<p>I run my 200tq with H+R's at negative 1,2 front/0.8 rear. I'd really like to run more,<br>but this is my daily driver, so it is a comprimise.<p>If you wanted to be more conservative, I would think 1.0f/0.6-0.7r.<p>HTH<br>erik<br>

Re: Suspension settings
<br>Maybe it's not set at all right, but it almost looks like there is positive camber in the back right now. At the least it is straight up and down. I don't want to have the back out of proportion with the front, but I need a little more sheetmetal clearance (ET35 wheels).<p>Thanks for the input, one other source suggested neg 1.0fr / 0.5r and 1/8" total toe out in the front (no toe for the back). Is your tire wear bad with your settings? I'm inclined to go closer to what you suggested.<p>I get to do this all over again, albeit with the fun settings, next year for the UrQ. For the 5KTQ I just want good solid highway and town compromise. Mind you I drive somewhat aggressively for both. However. there's no such thing as a twisty 2 lane road near Dallas.<p>Todd W<br>86 5KTQ 200K, 250+hp, IA stage II, hybrid, Borla race, K&N

Re: Suspension settings
Unfortunatly, I put the car in storage in August, so I can't really comment on wear.<br>As for toe, I put just the SLIGHTEST amount possible of toe IN for the front, and a touch more toe in in the rear.<p>Now, I have a question for you: Do you have a stock suspension (ie not lowered)?<br>What kind and size wheel do you have? What size tires? On my car with H+R springs, 205/55-16 tires on 16x7ET 37 wheels (from a A8) would not fit without well over -1 deg camber in the rear. Obviously not acceptable because I would of had to run around 1.8 deg in the front to balance the car. Anyway, I flared my fenders.<p>Erik<br>

The Attack of the Killer Baseball Bat
<br>I don't have a lowered suspension just yet, but the Eibachs I plan on putting in this weekend will bring it down an inch. I expect this to require bringing out the baseball bat, again. I have 205/55-16 on 16X7 ET35 5-spoke copies from Tirerack.<p>Todd W
