Default was reading yesterdays tread about 3door hubs &...

wondered if anybody can tell me best wheel geometry settings for a standard (lowered 30mm) 3door.
im not trying to achieve track style handling i just want it to be a nice stable road car,its not like it handles bad but it does feel unstable at speed.
im off to have it setup next week and no doubt they will set it to ford specification but if necessary i can speak to them and make alterations.

Unless you've got an adjustable rear beam, caster adjustment plates, adjustable TCAs or they're going to use shims on the back and front ARB I think the only thing they can adjust is the front toe in/out

I would like to know this too as after messing with the front set up on my car and not getting tracked properly, the car now feels really oversteery and unstable on turn in to fast bends where as it used to be pretty stable.

Tony suggested 1mm toe in on front ( not sure what that works out to in minutes )
and Mike R had his Sapphire set to 20 minutes (according to thread)
