I have the following in my Mark 4.

FFR upper and lower control arms
SN-95 spindles (with dogleg)
Breeze off-set rack bushings
Unisteer manual rack (no extenders)

I have ordered a Fortes bump-steer kit as I needed new tierod ends anyway.

With all of this does anyone have any suggestions for the base settings to use as a starting point?

Thanks for any input you may have.

I set mine up by the FFR book as close as I could get with a Fast track gauge I bought from Summit Racing. Mine drives just fine as it is. The manual rack is still low effort parking but its perfect at speed, not to light or touchy. Alighment is like a dog chasing his tail. Move this and that changes... you may not enjoy it at first but as you get it dialed in it starts to make sense. Don't forget you need to have it settled down in ride height before having good readings.

W/ a manual rack run 2-3 degrees positive caster only so you can steer it.Camber minus 1/2 to minus 3/4 deg. negative. Toein total 1/16-1/18 inch.
