If you enjoy driving hard on country roads like I do, or spend anytime on the track you'll know how you would like your car to drive. I am assuming that you own a Viggen. In that case you'll not have a camber adjustment per say. Camber plates are always an option, if you would like to have a little neg. camber in the front end.
Really the only adjustment on the front end is toe. If the car is towed out (front of the wheel outwards of center) you'll see horrendous torque steer, greatly worse than stock. You'll also loose the sharpness when you first turn into a corner. That paired with an increased understeer, will greatly diminish your fun factor (or put you in a ditch somewhere) My prefered setting would be to toe the front in slightly more than stock(bring the front of the wheel inwards of center). It won't really help your torque steer, but your cornering feel will greatly improve. Your sharpness on turn in will be almost night and day to your stock setting. That in itself will make the Viggen a bigger hoot to drive. You'll still have to feather the throttle coming out of the corners, but it will set you up to run slightly faster into the corner.
Brian.
