These are my preferences, not gospel. So I'm sure someone has better settings out there.

Straight line stability (similar to stock alignment)
Front:
Toe: 1mm toe in on each side
Camber: 0
Rear:
Toe: 1mm toe in on each side
Camber: -1

Increased steering response
Front:
Toe: -1mm toe out on each side
Camber: -0.5
Rear:
Toe: 0.5mm toe in on each side
Camber: -1

Mid-corner grip
Front:
Toe: -0.5mm toe out on each side
Camber: -1.5
Rear:
Toe: 0.5mm toe in on each side
Camber: -1

Ive had this setting as recommended by aaronng and can confirm that the car has excellent turn in and cornering response. Speed Stability is superior to stock if you have the coilovers and RSB in my experience. Excellent setup!!

Well done aarrong and thank you.

I currently have:
Front:
Toe: -0.5mm toe out on each side
Camber: 0
Rear:
Toe: 0.5mm toe in on each side
Camber: -1

It's good enough for the street, although I have to be extra alert to keep the steering wheel straight at 110km/h because a groove in the road can pull my car to the side. I am going to add -1.5 negative camber up front soon. :p

I probably would not bother about mid-corner grip, but more concern about straight line stability and steering response.

I am planing to get Hesman Steering to do alignment on my car soon, and want to get some reference points for comparision sake.

...Reminds me of the novel "Fahrenheit 451" set in a totalitarian regime where books are banned and "firemen" light fires with flame throwers to burn the books. At one point, one of the characters said that he'd heard once that "firemen" used to put out fires; which got him an incredulous response like "if they put out fires they wouldn't be called firemen".

Of course 60km/h over a slow hump is too fast. Now, if they were really called slow humps people would think you'd be talking about something completely different.

and i am just restating the fact that he is going too fast over the speed hump (to reduce speed as i dont know if your being sarcastic or not) in comparison to the softness of the stock euro suspension.

Anyways, don't mean to get your hyped or anything.

lol. Actually Crapdaz, I was having a go at the English language. What does Dick Smith do? Slow humps can be fun too.
