2DEDGE

Car is a 92 with the good springs and rear bar. I have added koni adjustables and 235/17's but the car needs an alignment and was curious what everyone is running for specs so I can inform the shop. On the front wheel drive vw's we always ranabout 1.5 negative with an 1/8 of toe out for stability at speed yet good cornering.

For a fast/open AutoX I may give it a turn of toe-out at the rear to get the rear end a bit happier and get it into 3rd, but if it's tight I'll end up using 2nd gear and let the power bring the rear around.

Other than that I run pretty neutral. I can use a bit of negative camber on the real bumpy stuff, that way I remain more or less neutral over the full travel of the suspension.

The biggest change I have is around 25-30 deg of caster. The tops of my struts are set back a few inches to do that. This way the bumps are absorbed by the struts rather than having them bend backwards. This makes low speed maneuvering difficult, but at speed it tracks very well.

In the pic you can see the original top locating mount, and behind it the two bolts where the new location is.
