Fitting my new coil-overs in the next few days, obviously I'm going cause havoc with the camber, but I have a camber gauge! yay!!

my question is, what should I be setting the front camber at? I'm thinking -1.5.. Will that be too much??

I personally think 1.5 will be too much, anything more than 1 degree is normally considered "too much".
1 degree would be fine though, mine was running at around 2 degrees negative when I had mine done and although it was immense handling it killed my tyres.

I got through a new set on the front in 1500 miles

Will I get 'scene points' and girls dropping their panties if I run what is considered 'too much' camber?

Probably at shows dude but not for everyday driving

So what do I need to do to my camber to get 'scene points' and girls dropping their panties on a daily basis?

Fair enough on the 'girls dropping their panties'... But do you really want / need 'scene points?'

A lot of the scene peeps are Nobs to be fair

Nope, I was taking the p***... I'm not rich enough (read stupid) to spend loads on my car to get enough scene points.

and as for the pants dropping, I just like girls

On a more serious note. Will -1.0 be good, what's recommended from a standard point of view?

I know its not in with the "Scene kids" but i thought these Specifications may help you dude.

These are the official ratings.

Ive got the caster and toe for the front and the toe for the rear if you need them.

Nice!!!

So I should aim for anything on between those values?

If you could get the caster/toe that would be ace!!

Yeh anything in between those two will do you well dear chap.
