The seems to be the consensus from what I've read. I'd did talk to one member that basically had the exact same set up exept hes on 255 rs3 that said he felt very stable at the track with the eibach on soft. I was thinking maybe it could help because the kw springs are not the stiffest.

Cars at the shop today getting corner balanced. Think I'm going to get it set for 13.2 all around I that's the safe min as I don't much like a rake with the rear higher normally. Is there a down side to running front and rear camber the same instead of slightly more rear. Anyone running more front than rear at the track?

Billy stated 13.2" as min in the rear with V3s but I think that was with the stock 90N/mm springs. You'll probably be fine with 13.2 all around.

I run -3.5 camber in front and -3 in the rear, but the car is more stable and easier to drive with more camber in the rear.

Adding more camber than what rob stated. Would probably result in excess tire wear.

Corner balanced and alignment today 13.2 fender to hub center front and back, front camber -2.32fl 2.25fr, 0toe, caster 6.18fl 5.96fr, rear camber 2.69rl 2.69rr, toe 0.03

Car feels great! I know longer rub on full lock, super easy fast transitions back and forth. If i push it and i start loosing the rear if i push a bit harder it starts to under steer.

this alignment before with weights before and after

alignment after


Thanks for your help guys

.03 degree of rear total toe-in = .025 inch.

Looks like 1/16" rear toe-IN on one side, 1/32" toe-OUT on the other => 1/32" total rear toe IN, or .07degrees total.
The .03 degrees is labeled as thrust angle, not total rear toe.
Thrust angle *should* be the average direction the rears are pointing in. But I'm calculating 0.11 degrees for thrust angle based on the left and right toe numbers...

Anyway, would be good to have closer to symmetric toe-IN. Wonder why they didn't address that toe-out when it is indicated so exaggeratedly in the printout? Have them set that to 1/16" toe-IN to match the other side and you're good.

Is there a really good way to ensure proper thrust angle in the rear if trying to do a home string alignment?

Just curious is that 13.2" left to right as well, so 13.2" all around?
