Hmm those specs seem a little different than the ones I recommended.

But 0.8mm front toe will still be very responsive and good for tyre wear. Front cambers pretty good I got 2.0degrees on my setup.

For the rear, it depends on how you want to setup the car. If you want to prioritize the traction then you can reduce the camber. Personally I think the alignment is pretty good, i'd give it some time to see how you like it first before making changes.

If I had to nitpick, I'd reduce the rear toe to 0.8mm each side to reduce tyre wear.

Agree, I think ill run with it as it is for the moment and see how goes

How do you drive it mostly mate? When I had the evo as a pure weekender, I ran -2.5 to -2.7 front and -1.5 rear, +0.5 deg toe each front (total toe +1), 0 total rear toe, and the tyre wear was almost perfectly even. Any less camber and I'd chew out the outside edge too much. If you are mostly punching it in a straight line then yeah, bring the rear back to about -1 or so camber but if you do load it up in the corners, personally, I'd leave it where it is now camber wise, but I do think that's excessive rear toe. I usually run them at zero. You can always check your tyre wear after a few thousand km and see how it's going if you are unsure.

Thanks mate. Need to fit new spacers on the weekend to close up the gap due to the new camber plates. I'll post some pics of the new stance when it's done

Socks. What is happening with your car on the power side of things. Have you had it on the dyno as yet?

Not yet mate. Turbos in but I need to do some logs so I can get it properly tuned. I reckon it's putting out about 530 kws lel

Mod 52 - New Spacers

Technically not a new mod, because I've installed spacers before, but I thought I'd document it anyway lel

I have been running 5mm spacers all round for a while now. The 5vers gave the car a perfectly flush stance. It took ages to get it just right and was pretty happy with how it was sitting But you know how it goes with modding right? change one thing and it has a knock on requiring the spending of more moneys

So was the case with the new camber plate install (mod 51) New plates meant, new more aggressive set up, and changed stance.. The gaps were back around the wheel arches, so another set of spacers was needed

EB89 pitched on with a set of 10s and 15s (thanks mate ) for a small cash exchange

Got around to fitting them today. 15s on the front and 10s on the rear. Happy to say, no more gaps, back to a perfectly flush stance and no rubbin NICE

Pic 1 - Spacers ready for install
Pic 2 - Installing these is so complicated
Pics 3 & 4 - Front - before & after
Pics 5 & 6 - Rears - before & after

Thanks mate

What tires are you running EB? Im 235s in front and 265s in back

There is not much gap between the rubber and the wheel arch, I can just fit a pen between them. Only rub if there are people sitting in the back seat, which is rare

Lucky break.. lost a race nut

Just a small tale to share, how random stuff can work in mysterious ways

Peeps might recall that I have 75mm wheel studs and race nuts

While changing the spacers today, I noticed one of the the front wheel race nuts was missing

While speaking to DrJ and searching for a replacement, I discovered that the 75mm studs are only good for up to 12mm spacers

Seeing I had just fitted 15mm spacers, Id have to go up a 82mm wheel stud.

Had I not lost a race nut, I would have never known my wheel studs were now too short and could have potentially been driving blissfully unaware

New longer wheel studs and new race nuts otw

All praise random lost wheel nut !!!
