The KW top mounts that I have can go upto 3.5 degrees when in camber adjustment and 2.2 degrees when rotated to maximize caster..

are the AST top mounts an additional -2 degrees camber ontop of oem spec, or -2 degrees total
are you using your KW top mounts as well as the TT lower arms

They will set the suspension at -2 degrees.. Standard the car runs about 0.8 degrees..
Nope, just the top mounts..

what is the condition of the AST top mounts. Also do you have any links of reviews on them as i cant track them down on google. I am however interested in them
Janner_Sy:
what is the best way to set your car up for track and road with reference to camber and castor. ive heard some people say you need more camber and others say that more castor is what you need.
i on the other hand am not sure, and would love to have some info to back me up when i get it all setup at a garage

Car geometry is complicated. By adjusting camber you are also changing toe and castor (to less of an amount).
I once regretted going down the route of having a fully adjustable suspension setup on a Skyline (coilovers, adjustable control arms all round), purely because I struggled to find a local-ish garage which had the equipment and knowledge to set it up correctly.
However if you near to these guys http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/ your in luck as they are the nutz at full geo setups.
