KW Clubsports settings and setup.

Hi guys, installed my KW's yesterday, took it for a drive and then went to my alignment place and had the car setup to my likings.. (pretty much used the settings i had on my previous setup), but not sure that will work with this setup.

I set the car up with -3.0 degrees of camber up the front and 1.7 at the rear, with only a smidgen of +toe in at the front and +0.26 at the rear.

car drives great, only issue is, its too dang low, after settling for a little bit, depending what corners its doing it rubs a lot.. so ill up the suspension by 4mm today, hopefully that will sort it out.

question: if i increase the ride height, will i need to re- align, re csamber the car? or can i go up and down a bit without too much hassle?

cheers

Thinking about it now, i might be thinking that 3 degrees at the front is rather a bit too aggressive, and might change it to 2.3-2.5??

Ride height will definitely change the alignment.

yup, thought so.. oh well, ill have to head back in then. changed the ride hight up about 4 mills at the back and about 10 mills at the front.. no rubbing now.. had a quick fang today and the ride is ... awesome.. love the feedback from the road, i have my damper set in the middle.. 8 at the back and 10 in the front.. thought id start somewhere neutral.
