Can anyone recommend a geometry set up for my 4.5? It will be mostly for fast road use (exclusively unless I can make it quieter!)

Any input gratefully received!

Mid range of the recommended values in the manual is 1 degree of negative camber front and rear and 30 mins total of toe in front and rear. That would probably a safe starting point and then get it tweaked if necessary once you have driven it some.

Thanks folks - Adrenochrome, I suppose that they are your actual figures?
