camber caster toe in/out etc settings?

[Jimmy-Boy]

getting my car set up profesionally corner weighted etc but wanted some guidline ideas i can put forward for the bloke to toy with.. i'm sure he knows it all and what he's doing but anyone care to share set ups? or advice?

springs are 300lb eibach on the ast coilovers and top mounts and rear stock hatch dampers with 22mm bars satchel lower brace and omp upper fully polybushed.

Curtis at AST once told me that with semi slick about 2-2 1/2 degrees, with slicks 3 degrees, but that was just a guide. I was running about 2 degrees with like stew said a bit of toe out.

using a048's atm got 6 tyres to chew threw then will no doub move onto non road legal slicks...

so 2 degree negative camber and 30mins toe out, anything else?

Thanks guys BTW!

Just a note. I use stock top mounts. Stock camber, castor and r888. Goes well. Get front and rear heights right, twiddle tyre pressures (at the track) .....

Radial or crossply slicks? Radials like camber, crossply don't.

havent looked into slicks yet mate, i use 13x7 wheels so probably something simular to kit cars.

yes that s it...

sexy_gt says -0.5..

who right??? both!!

last track day at home track i manage to destroy the diff and to slick tyres €€
why ...just by stupidly adj it to -0.5...its was -2.5!!!

with r888 or simillar and no camber should be ok with -0.5.

the wrong adjustment ..was not all bad...i never seen my car car breaking so well !!!!
with a less toe adjust...the car almost doubled the breaking power ..i was almost stopping at the usual turn point .

so for the time attack freaks...spend more and more time adjusting your car and less money on parts....big big diference, the s9b tyres was useless..
the gone in 10 lap...the outside off tyre gone...just the outside but you cant use half tyre..

so next time ill abdicate a litlle on the control side i will try to improve on breaking....so - 2.25


-2.25 is the magic nr??

ill try it!!
