Default Setup advice

Current setup...

Huge wing
KWv3 with original springs
Stock '03 front and rear sway bars
-3.5 front camber, -3 rear
225/255 NT01

It pushes everywhere.

Plan for next weekend:

KWv3 with original springs
Eibach front sway bar, factory '03 rear bar
-3.5f camber, -3 rear
255 square NT01

Will I have excessive oversteer? Seems as though most run heavier front springs (compared to rear) and a very large front bar for 255 square.

Too much wing maybe?

I'm not sure a wing is needed with 225's

You're probably right, hence changing to the 255 square setup.

But with 255's, square springs, and "only" an eibach front bar... will it be excessively loose? A little loose is really fun, but I don't want it to be excessive.

the size of that wing and assuming the tires are half decent i can't see it being a problem its not going to snap oversteer unless the wing tears the trunk off!

Switch to a square setup first, leave the sways as is. If that doesn't work, back the wing down in its AOA.

Whats your caster at?

Dan, if you're there Sat you've really got to see the holes in the trunk!

Caster is 6.45.

Wing is currently flat.

I figured the soft setting on the eibach is close to stock. The eibach bar only has two positions, but at least that way I have more ability to adjust on site if I don't like the balance.

Zero rear toe? If too twitchy, can dial a little toe in at the track.
