Default Suspension Settings

I'm going to get my car re-aligned Wednesday, and I was wondering if anyone has any specific setting they go by when they get this done, maybe a set-up up for specific handling characteristics. Maybe someone might have some suggestions for the mods I have (which aren't much).

Koni yellows
KGMM races springs (1inch drop) and 10k rate (i believe)
spoon Xbrace
Front strut brace
work emotions 17" 7"front 8"rears
falken 451s 215/45/17F 245/40/17 rear

Thanks for any help,

Tyler

Tyler -

You should start by telling us what you want to achieve. Different uses would call for different alignment specs. Daily driver? Track car? Auto-x?

If you are using the car primarily for the street - do a search on the "uk alignment"

Pretty good streetable specs.

Candidly - if you really want to improve your car's handling - get some better tires.

p.s. the kg/mm race springs aren't even close to 10K

I was planning on buying better tires, but I had to replace them before I had planned and had to go with something a bit cheaper. I'm just looking for the best grip for what I have. The car is Daily driver, but I'll be going to the dragon soon and I have often run the car on local back roads. I visit the the autoX as often as possible, but havent had the chance with this car...yet. I wasn't sure about the specs with the KGs, I just read somewhere on line and got that spec. Are these the most aggressive spring available? They came with the car when I bought it, and would prefer more aggressive if available. Thanks for your help.
