GC coilover install complete

[dlmrun2002]

After making a height adjustment on the coilovers and cranking down on the front and rear top adjustable Konis, the kit isn't harsh at all. I put GC camber plates in and will be getting an alignment on Tuesday. Any suggestions on what I should put the alignment at? I'm thinking -2 on the camber. Should I have them correct the toe for a negative camber or just have them zero the whole front end and let me set the camber negative on track day and go with the toe out? Also the suspension feels a bit hoppy. I'm running 450 front- 650 rear.. An no I.E. sway bars thanks to DPI..

I am getting almost the exact same thing right now except I have 5-something up front. They are sitting up at Bimmerworld until my brother finishes them and we put them on. So I am interested in a good setting as well hah.

what sort of range of adjustments in ride hide are possible F&R? Also what adjustments are possible with the Koni's F&R?

After setting Koni's to firmest and raising suspension a bit, car was hoppy. Just backed off the Koni front struts 1/2 turn and the back Koni's one full turn. Feels way better. No hop.

Well I can tell you on the race car with 500/600 spring rates and a 25mm front bar (no rear). full rebound front, and full soft rear (or 1/8 turn off soft) is generally about perfect, just a little oversteer but fairly neutral without the risk of understeer. Now this was on DAs, the rebound valving is a bit different on SAs so might need some fine tuning. But the car handles like crap if you have them both jacked to full (generally oversteers heavily).

Camber sounds about right, more if your autocrossing on r-compounds (I found 4* was a bit much for my 285s, but 3.5 was happy, less and I started edged outside edge), and 1/8 or more toe out. on the track you probably would be better with zero, less twitchy.
