Pretty much the same as far as toe goes all around, camber has been increased all around which does reduce stability but nothing you should notice in the amount it has been changed.

toe out is measured as a + number. notice how in his stock settings he has 0's at the rear. so yeah get it checked if you still want but imo its the toe out youre feeling

Thanks mate, might just take some time and get used to it fully, it must be the feeling when I turn it goes, so it feels snappier, hehe dunno really howto explain it :\

P.s. I am not making much sense I am sure of it hehe.

Must be me who's wrong, only 7 years of being a wheel aligner doing an average of 4 a day.

yeah its weird when you first get it done but thats exactly what toe out does makes turn in quicker at the expense of a little straight line stability. its also used to reduce understeer in cars like the wrx

[QUOTE=wannabox]Am I just imaginign things here? After my coilovers/sway bars/ALK and roll centre kit, it felt ok but past few days feels floaty and the steering very light, is this just normal? I might take it to the guys that did it to have a peek, but thought I would get some oppinions first.


Cheers[/QUOTE]

What size bars front and rear did you get fitted btw?

Which coilovers, and rates?

The place which did it should recheck it for you if you feel something is wrong for sure, but its upto them and how good their customer service really is in the end.

wannabox 25-08-2008 07:54 PM

Thanks mate, got Tein Super Street all round, stock spring rate, damper set on 8. I have 24mm adjustable sway front and rear set on softest I was told.


Cheers
