Default Anyone got the adjustment settings needed for 4x4 saff stage 2 beam?

Hi, ive got my mate coming round tomorrow to set up my adreniline stg 2 rear beam and was wondering if anyones got the adjustments thats best for it they could send my way? If its any help, its got the adreniline rear beam and koni shocks with i think -20/25mm springs, and at front adj tca's and compression struts.

Anyone else noticed they sit alot higher at the back with the new beam fitted, or should it go back to normal once its all set up?

Would appreciate any help, thanks Tom.

Ah right, ill keep the konis for abit see how i get on with them, and if not ill get some better coilovers, prob will any way to get the back sitting abit better! did you have any problems fitting your exhaust with the beam? Went to put mine back on last night, bt the rose joints stop the hanger from going up, just bend them or do i need to get i moved slightly and reweleded?? (mongoose)

These are the settings Mr Rainbird recommends:

Front:
Camber: 1.5° negative
Toe-in: 2mm overall
Caster: As close to 3°30 as you can get.

Rear:
Camber: 1.5° negative
Toe-in: 3mm overall
