I found a lot of old info I got from Ron on the specs for the RS Racing suspension kits. I have full install instructions for the kits. Ron talks about being dissatisfied with the solutions available from Koni and Bilstein.

Medium: Toe in 4mm, Camber 2.5 degrees
Radical: Toe in 6mm, Camber 4 degrees
Castor: Governed by the space available in the A arm

Also, ride height as measured at the jack points is supposed to be always set at 1 cm higher than the front.

The ride height recommendation I have is 14.5cm front and 15.5 cm rear.

So when I dump the spindles, I should have 2.5 degrees of negative camber.

I thought according to my old info, 100kg front was recommended for four cylinders. I have a note for bad roads to use 115 kg fronts on a V6.
