Well on my newage I have the following which I was told were fast road / prodrive settings - mine is lowered 40mm on coilovers:

Front Left: 1.38 camber
Front left: 0.01 Toe
Front Right: 1.45 camber
Front Right: 0.05 toe
Rear Left: 1.35 camber
Rear Left: 0.04 Toe
Rear Right: 1.32 camber
Rear Right: 0.03 Toe
Front Total Toe: 0.08
Rear Total Toe: 0.08

Hope that helps...

My settings are pretty similar to the above, with a little more camber, 1.6 and 1.5 rear but less toe at the rear than the front.. that looks a little round the wrong way.. (mind you those are 100ths of a degree!)

Ryans settings above don't include castor, just run as much of it as you can get at the front.

What do you guys think of the caster mod ?? Where you spin around the bar 180 on the end of the wish bone.. where the anti lift kit would normally go. Meant to give an extra 5 if castor

[Type-r-russ]

What toe should i run then ? Should add the car is not a daily but i do use it bit so am also thinking of tyre wear,
Oh and im on tein springs not coilovers

Fast Road / Ring trip
Front Camber - 1.80 - 2.00 (you may struggle to get 2.00)
Front Toe - 1 - 2mm in
Rear Toe - 1 - 2mm in

Rear Camber - 1.5

What E said Is about right, if you can get the castor mod done then bonus! check arch liner clearances if you run oversize wheels

[Type-r-russ]

Running 1.8 - 2 of camber will this wear my tyres out a lot quicker ??

[Ginola]

Depends on the tyres and how hard you corner, I get even wear at 1.6

You want as much NEGATIVE camber as you can get from the front camber bolts. This is normally about -1.4.
Rear camber isn't adjustable but a good shove of the top of the wheel with loose strut/hub bolts should get you the right side of -1.

You won't get much more unless the car is jacked, everything loosened, including swing arms and bushes. Then dropped back down, settled and tightened.

I have caber bolts for the rear.. if they will help ?

[Scott.T]

Liner wear has occurred with some members but I put that down to part aggressive camber, part oversized tyres and very much part of the Carousel in Germany

[Type-r-russ]

Haha ... im running 18s with 225 40 18 ..
So you think neg camber and toe will not cause excessive uneven tyre wear

[Type-r-russ]

I mean how quick are they wearing through there tyres compared to normal

[Type-r-russ]

What geo are running scott ??

[Scott.T]

You'll be fine on your tyres.
I wouldn't recommend running more than -1.45 for standard road use.
Subaru settings are around 0 to -1 IIRC.

Various schools of thought on rear camber bolts, I have been told (by a set up specialist) that in the dry rear camber bolts can help,
but in the wet the standard set up is better, for this reason Ive not bothered with rear camber bolts.

Lots of these things come down to personal choice, individual driving styles and abilities.

The above settings I posted came direct from RCM..

Hi mate.... im guessing after what scott said.. im not going to be able to make that much neg camber on the the standard struts ?

[Type-r-russ]

I need some settings that i can use on standard setup... just lowered 30mm on tein springs running 18s with 225 40 18 and the use of camber bolts..
I have a access to hunter system to set it up on

This is the standard WR1 settings if it helps.

Front Camber - 1.15
Front Toe - 0.06 in
Rear Toe - 0.10 in

[Type-r-russ]

What do you guys think of thses setting

-1.5 degrees front
-1.2 rear

.3 differential so if -1.4 go -1.1 etc.


3 mins of toe in per corner in front....or .05 degrees.

6 min total toe in on front axel ....or .1 degrees!!!

Run nearly double that on rear


I.e. 12 min total toe etc
