This is my setup!
Delrin rear subframe bushing
Delrin diff bushing (noise, not really good for street)
Suspension : I bought a KW Competition 2 way from a clk63 guy in France.
Rear spring : c63 kw club sport rear spring 15.3k (860lbs)
Front spring : swift spring 7k (392 lbs) 6'' 60mm with helper spring
But the front of car is to low I will update for 8'' with out helper spring. I don't really have a big ajustement up front, I need to keep the coilover nut on the top (ajustement +/- 1/4'')
Wheels : Fast Wheels FC04 18x10 Et35 with 24mm space (just for info: the front wheels don't fit out spacer, they touch the bearing cap)
Tires: Continantal Slick 275/35r18 (from canadian touring car championship)
Square Setup
I already had:
26mm front sway bar,
22mm rear sway bar,
80mm stud conversion.
Fender:
It's very tight
The car is to low and the tires rub a bit in fenders, but I will go with 8'' spring without helper spring (same springs rate) The car will be go up about 3/4''-1''. I have modified the fender liner at two place. No probleme lock to lock.
I dont know why, the steering is very more easy and smooth to turn.
Alignement : I used 4 camber bolts,
caster : 10.6/11.6
Rear camber : neg 2.5 deg
Front camber : neg 4.5 deg ( I can go close to 6 deg )
The car is amazing, I need to finalise fine tunning and I need more seat time to exploit the maximum of the car. The limit has changed.

even tho you spaced out 24mm, with all that neg camber, inside edge on those front wheels must be very close to the strut...
