I don't think the issue of snap-oversteer exists on the AP2s. I thought that the AP2's suspension redesign accounted for the problem.

I suppose adding bit of negative camber couldn't hurt though .

Pro: The car feels more planted when you are pushing it in the turns.

con: increased tire wear

i love the uk spec alignment, car feels sooo much better

Chaps - here it is..
Be aware that this setup is with my weight taken into account in the car, and additional weights to make up a full tank of fuel. I'm about 13 1/2 stone. ( Google it....you can easily convert into pounds )

Hope this helps.

with Gaspode Chris (CG) corner weighted my car after I fitted the SC and coilovers lowering it 30mm. He uses a variation on the "UK spec" alignment. Which BTW is only suggested for AP1's by HUK.

double click for bigger versions.
