i have the H&R sport springs (35 mm lowering) in my car. i'm just wondering what is the best settings to use with these springs in terms of camber, castor, toe... etc..
the car needs an alignment coz one of the rear wheels looks to be out. should i go back to the factory settings or are there better settings for this setup?

Some of the more serious track guys were talking about this in the racing forum last week. But with H&R Sports I just used the factory specs where possible. The front camber isn't adjustable so that's out. But toe and caster is to spec. I get nice neutral handling and no odd tire wear yet.

1.4 camber 1.2
4.6 caster 4.4
.17 toe .18

1.3 camber 1.2
.18 toe .17

Good luck,
Rich

I would use the factory heavy duty sport settings for your car.

I race my car so I changed the toe a bit. I like a bit less toe up front.

Remember: The front Tie rod ends are adjustable for hieght. They need to be lowered at the outside edge. Most shops/people dont know this. Look at the tie rod end near the top of the front tire for the adjustment. With you setup you would want to go all the way on it. There is not much adjustment there to start and every bit helps.
