ive changed all my suspention about 10 times lol, now ive just got standard front springs on the b4s and lowering rear springs on standard shocks (b4s soon). i tried a couple of differed sets of springs but found the front just way to hard with the 19s on so thats why i went back to stock springs. lowered the rear around 15mm just to level her up as the rear on the gsi's seem to sit a little too high from standard.

why do you have to alter the rear toe in/out..as this is set with the torsion beam trailing arms..you havent altered the trailing arms angle just dropped the body down lower onto it....the original toe.in/angle should still be the same as the wheels are still at the same angle as factory set....(umless you have knocked it )
whereas the front is a different matter as by shortning the shock lenght your tilting the angle at the wheels possibly altering the camber..
