Best setup for coilovers
 
Going to go get the car aligned soon and I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on how to make the car handle better. I have KSports with the pillowball mounts. Any suggestions or just get them aligned to spec? Thanks

Don't go with a big drop, around 1 to 1.5 inches from the stock ride height, once your set with the new ride height. Get the car corner balanced and weighted if there is a shop in your area that can do that. Then go with -1.0 to -1.5 degrees front camber. You can run more negative camber but it will wear the insides of the tires alot quicker. I'm running -2.2 degrees negative camber with 1/8 total toe out but my car isn't a daily driver.

^ good advice.

I've personally been most happy in the handling/comfort department when the ride height is set so that the control arms are just about parralel to the ground or pointed down a tad bit. My camber is set about -2.0 degrees. Zero preload on the springs, and the shock/strut settings a little more than half. Its not as good as an alignment sheet, but it'll do. lol

Note: thats not how I have it set right now at all. I'm slammed currently.
