Customary setting is 355 front 345 rear. You can change them to be different if you really want, but it works best at those heights.

Just make sure the bump stops are trimmed correctly.

Oh nice, same as my current tein's. My new gtr with stock suspension appears to handle better than my worked gtr with tein suspension so I want something that handles better than tein but doesn't lose the current stance it has.

Well you will find the group buy stuff noticeably harder at the front than the rear. This will help your traction. Just wind in as much -ve camber at the front as you can.

Ive got a set of KCA439 rear subframe bushes... I'm looking at making the subframe bushes redundant as they are shagged out but i also want better rear traction... Should have around 600rwhp soon

Now i want to set them at "Maximum traction" but this is only classified as "reduced" rear mount compliance which "All round performance" is "minimal" compliance.

What would be the better setting?!? Im assuming "Maximum Traction" will still use the front 2 bushes more than "All round performance"?

Well I finally got the shocks, springs and front swaybar in yesterday. Then I started bucketing down rain so we knocked off (were working outside dammit). Will drop in the rear bar and subframe bushes at the weekend, then tee up with Fulcrum to do the rest of the bushes and wheel alignment.

Took the car for a good spin this afternoon and was mightily impressed. Even with the standard camber and castor settings and the stock rear bar this kit is good. Damned good. We have some gnarly roads in my neck of the woods as the local council just keeps putting patches on patches. Some of the bumps have been here for twenty years. No kidding. The Bilsteins cope effortlessly with both multiple small ripples and big bumps. Ride is firm but not nasty. I highly recommend this kit to anyone trying to make up their mind.

One thing to watch out for when ordering for a GTS4 is to check your rear shocks. My car had the rear suspension uprights changed to GTR units at some point in its life, which caused some headaches for both me and Gary as I wasn't aware of this when I ordered my kit. GTS4's usually use GTS-t shocks at the rear. So, do yourself and Gary a favour and have a look if you're not sure about your car. The standard GTS4 has rear shocks with an eye at the bottom and the GTR ones have a fork on them. Apparently some guys change the uprights because there's a greater range of stuff for GTR's. If yours have been changed you just get the GTR kit instead of the GTS4 kit.
