Hey I've got to get my geometry all re-done, on my car and I'm after advice on other members setups

I'm planning on taking my car to Jim hunter suspension up at blacktown unless you guys can recommend somewhere better. I'm after a fast road/ odd track day setup......

1/16th" toe out at the front

1/16th" toe in at the rear

camber depends on your tyres & your driving but generally for road use with your average road tyres (falkens etc)->
.5deg neg camber on all 4 corners
& 3 to 4 deg caster on the front is pretty sweet

if you`re racing it on yokos then they like more camber (Maybe 1.5-2deg neg)

But if you`re using Hoosier-daddys then they like being straight up-n-down = no camber

I an running 1/16th tow F&R as the Doc has suggested, I am running +6 degree caster, its heavy but helps heaps with the torque steer from the turbo whack, camber on the front is 2 degrees and camber rear is.5 degree.

drives very nice
