Default Coilover install / properly aligning and balancing

Hello again everyone,

Just received my Tein Flex Coilovers and EDFC, Tein Strut tower bars and Cobb Sway bars w/Kartboy endlinks. Install all these items is for the most part going to be easy maybe time consuming though. I am looking for a how-to or advice on the coilover set up after the install.

I would like to know about reasonable Castor, Camber, and Toe settings for the STi. I plan on lowering the car 1.8 inches front, 1.0 back. Still using 17x8.5 rims. I would like to also know what respective numbers for the balancing are. 50/50 left to right, but what about front to back. I saw the video on the MY00 using 60/40 f/b. I plan on having an alignment done but need to know what to tell them for the castor/camber settings. Any other info would help, thanks.

-Dirk

if you're doing corner balancing you want Front Left + Rear Right = Front Right + Rear Left



hope the little article was helpful
