Default Basic geometry question

I'm getting my geo. checked this week as it's not been done for a few years.

I've looked through some of the earlier threads, and found NZ_M3's post with the factory settings here:

http://www.cslregister.com/forum/sho...4&postcount=12

I don't need a track-oriented setup, but would like to get a bit more steering weight/feel than I've got currently. The car's chassis/suspension is completely standard.

So I need to know what to ask for... Do I want maximum or minimum camber / toe / whatever within the stock settings to achieve what I'm looking for ? Or do I need to ask them to go outside the stock settings ?

I'm getting this done locally in Reading at a reputable place who aren't CSL experts, as don't have time to go to somewhere like Simpsons for example.

Cheers in advance for any useful advice...

Go to wheels in motion, Chesham, Hunter machine and the guys are very knowledgeable, tell them what you are after and they will modify settings from oem base to suit you. If you don't like after a week or two they will change free of charge.

Thanks, I've used w-i-m before, but was hoping to avoid the trip over there.

Can anyone help out with the original questions?

I wouldn't mind knowing this too, I've just fitted a new set of cups and even though a 4wheel alignment was done at ML after the bootfloor works it would have been set up for the old worn cups...
