Very happy with this setup. Brakes require more time to make good setup, because it is quite easy to lock front wheels. 195 tires are too narrow for this brakes setup. :D
Max camber is about -4,5 deg. Will try setup with bigger caster and less camber. Rear springs are to long for propper clearance so new shorter springs will be fitted.
It feels very stable, no dive and body roll. Front wheels are with 28mm spacers and steering wheel became less loaded during cornering, not bad without power steering. Will try to make few pictures/video on the racetrack. Front stabilizer mounting places are changed and it became more rigid.

nice, but GAZ can do you a fully adjustable coilover setup for around £650 (strut exchange) thats included rear strengthend shocker mounts, bump,rebound,damping,height adjustable, its called the "Gaz gold" range, for track and road usage, but you can specify what you want with custom springs rates and what sort of motorsport you will be doing ;)

and if any of you watched the top gear when they entered the BMW Diesel into the 24hr brit-car, they set that up with their coilover systems
Alpine white 91 E30 318is track car in the making :D
