Good to see you have the TRD rear sway in, did you notice much difference?

Thanks mate,
Yeh got the TRD sway in and it has made a huge differance! I notice it especialy when its wet, because the weight doesnt transfer into body roll now the back end tends to get loose without much input from me.
That said in the dry the front really pushes in on tight corners, testing it out in a abandond country town on the weekend, pushed just under 90 through a roundabout with just a little bit of tire squeal

Ah- now what toe-in will you run??
The greater the camber the more toe-in you need to try and keep tyre wear even across the treads. You automatically get toe-out when you lower the car, and that plus the camber blows away the inside treads extremely fast.
If you put more camber on the front than the rear (like I run) then the nose will stick more and you will get better turn-in.

Good advice! im am trying to organise a alinment with a place called spinning wheels that do alot of advanced setups,
I will see what they think but yeh i will need a decent ammount of toe in, i cant remove much camber due to the ofsets of the wheels (need to get the front guards rolled as the tyre has hit them on bumps mid corner. Specs are 8inch +32 :o)
I am going to take what camber i can out of the rear but i only have a tiny bit of room to play with, without getting the gards pulled and i dont realy want to do that.

Ask for Stu to perform the wheel alignment.

You just need a stiffer sussy setup and you wont scrub :P
I'm running +38 on 225/35 on 19" rims (which fill the guards out a bit more due to the larger rolling diameter) and only scrubs when I have my dampers on full soft.
Have you modified your inner guard linings? The scrubbage normally occurs on the two plastic tabs, which can be modified with a small amount of heat from a hairdryer.
Whats your new ride height from centre of the rim to the guard?

Really? i scrub fairly hard on corners when i hit a bump :( only on the fronts though. Havnt modded the gard linings but i can see where the tire touches and its not the plastic pins unfortunatly :(
Ill measure the height this afternoon and post up tomorrow (testra broke my internet at home)
EDIT:
Remeber when you could fit a whole hand there lol!! now its tucking half the tyre lol

Yeah I only scrub occasionally on high speeds corners with a bump mid corner, but I used to scrub hard with the Tom's coilovers which had similar spring rates to your Tein CS's
Lol I can recall just about being able to fit my head up in the gap between the tyre and the guard :D

HAHA dont even need a jack to work under they car... i could just walk underneth it lol!
Did the measurment 24 cm from the center to the top of the guard, what kind of hieight is yours at? i have found that kits make a huge differance to the look of the height on these cars
