    Default Better milage

    I'm getting about 1 to 2 mpg better by this set up.

    -2.0° camber + 0.2mm toe front

    -1.5° camber + 1.1mm toe rear

    Will test it at the autocross this Sunday.

    Thanks for the alignment info Pilgrim, be sure to report back and I may try these specs out too!

    That 1mm rear, is that toe in or out?

    You get a better grip in cornering and frees the car up so it doesn't feel like it is been held back.
