Hi guys,

please can someone check these values:



we aligned the car to the TEIN specifications, but today the car feels very soft at rear. i have the feeling that something is wrong... the car runs straight ahead, but on cornering i have the feeling that the rear will brakeout (sure it does not, but my ***-meter tolds me so)...

thank you in advanced

Marcus,
car is coming along very well. Congrats!

Did you try softening the front and leaving the rears at the hardest position?
If so , the those new sways will really help out as the rears have three adjustments.

thank you, thank you,

well i phoned my mechanics and told him about the problem, he said maybe the "Visualiner" on which we setup the car is not 100% calibrated, because 3 other cars have the same problem with a soft feeling rear, so it could be that TOE and CAMBER are a way to much off the line and this would lead to my problem... so we have to reset the car next week 2gether with the sways!
i will first trying the stock alignment settings - so hopefully they will good enough...

You may be on the right track here as I've got mine aligned to the stock settings and the coilovers set to the hardest position front and rear. I have the Daizen rear bar set to the stock setting. It corners as well as my M5

hehe - yes buy a TOYOTA or LEXUS and drive it 3 weeks on wet german streets - and your car will look like this...! but it is just a fine rust film - nothing to worry about...
