A car that would previously understeer slowly around a corner is now almost totally neutral until the very edge of traction when it understeers mildly. That understeer can be very easily converted into a quite mild oversteer by simply backing off and turning more or touching the brakes. The rear camber bolts arent even in - I found out the aftermarket struts someone fitted dont have front camber so I decided to leave the rear as is. Luckily the fronts both have around 1* negative as they are. Toe is around 2mm at the front and 2mm at the rear. I guess it could be refined more but I'm quite happy with the rediculous speeds it now corners at. Tyre pressures are 45 front and 35 rear. I dunno if that's optimal but it felt pretty good and both outer tyres could be heard squeeling at the limit. Bar is set to the stiffest setting "22mm" You can actually feel the ass end coming around ever so slightly even on low speed corners, taking some of the load off the front outer tyre. After a full tank of fuel driving through the hills at speeds I'd prefer not to confess to, I have to say this kit + alignment is a massive improvement. The car is more chuckable, the steering is a lot more direct and it gave me a lot more confidence, even on bumpy corners next to rock faces. It's almost an oversized gocart. Highly recommended.
