WALK only effects (and improves) castor.

TT arms will introduce a very small but helpfull amount of camber and apparently has no adverse effect on uneven tyre wear.

i very much doubt that winding the TT arms to their maximum egative camber will have a bad effect on the tyre wear.  on a standard car they will allow you to reach 1.5Degree negative camber(1 degree std iirc).  on a lowered car that will increase slightly due to the geometry changes of the suspension.

this guy has them on his so you could always ask him if you wanted.

most of the cars on track days that want agressive settings, run 3 degrees or more

I run 3 degrees on mine up front, i dont really get any odd tyre wear, they wear really flat actually.... but then it does get used fairly hard  :pomppomp:

I have got somewhere around 2 degrees on mine and i found the best way to keep tyre wear even is just go round corners faster than you would straights.  :laugh:  works for me.

Yea KW top mounts and suspension set so the wishbones are level, just need to make some adapters to drop the track rods so there level with the wishbones  :smiley:
