Default aligment specs for track w/GT2 rear sway installed

Hi Guys,
Just got a call from my alignment tech; he spotted the rear GT2 swaybar on the car and is questioning using the factory 'track' alignment specs with it ...

any advice?

Thanks

i recall oem setting for rear bar was full stiff.
with GT2 bar, you will add more stiffness to the rear. perhaps you want to soften the bar by a notch or two just to try out the feel.

Oops, I was a bit ambiguous; yes the OEM on the orginal bar was full stiff, I've been running with it full soft.

The alignment guy was really questioning the toe/camber settings with this bar ...

I was going to start with the "track" toe/camber/etc specs in the owners manual ...

- i have posted my setup info multiple times but I'm running the rear gt2 bar on the middle hole and the car seems to be working very well - very neutral on the mid speed turns
- my rear camber is -2.3 with stock track setting toe-in
- do not worry about the second hole being too stiff / overstear - (this is how the factory delivers the gt2 and it is fine)
- more key, as you know, is the front camber / toe settings to get the car to turn-in

Going to try factory specs with rear bar set soft then play from there!

I will report back!

Any of you alignment nuts play with spring rates? I want to put a stiffer spring rate in the rear so i can soften the rear sway, but I cannot for the life of me get the rear spring rate data??
