If you had it set up by Wa suspension, you will already have your front camber set at -1.0. I was with the old boy that does the alignments when I had my foz done and he said he puts a bit of camber on all subies. Rear camber on yours isn't adjustable. You just need to take it easier in the wet! I've had my foz let go on me and when it did, it kicked out twice as hard as commo utes I've owned. 4wd is better but when you reach the limit, shit happens real quick!

Im very happy with my setup and its very simple

My HSD coilovers(before it was yellowed) where set at medium to hard(12/16 clicks) setting on front and medium(8/16 clicks) on the rears
Front 2deg camber, max castor you can get, 0 toe
Rear 1.5deg camber and 0 toe(I think it was 0).
all set up by Wheelsworld

To add to that I have anti lift kit and a centre roll kit, front 21mm rear 22mm Cusco swaybars, next would be whiteline bushes...

and all mighty ling longs does mad skids, slightly more rear bias if than neutral which is good and bad, and having DCCD at 35:65 split with R180 2way STI diff also helps.

Straight through exhaust probably didn't help the matter either!

Lowest point on the car can't be lower than 100mm with a fully loaded car.

generally should be 100mm clearance or maybe 110mm from the lowest point on your car normally your exhaust.
not too sure if they count mud flaps either??

fyi - coilover 0 = hard 30 =soft

i now have the front on 10 and the rear on 12

lifted the rear 15 mm

sway bar is on middle setting

car is much better now

also now that there is some tread wear on the new tyres they are also sticking better

front camber is on 0.7 as per my allignment sheet...however castor is 0.... i think i can get more so il go back and ask and rebook it in as it seems to still lean left anyways.
