Standard Suspension options

rstoughy · 09-08-2010, 09:36 PM

Whats the options with the standard suspension with regards to adjusting camber, toe angle etc?

Have slight wear (about 1") on the inside of the rear tyres and guessing this is due to fitting new RTAB's and a limiter kit back the beginning of the year.

Anyone know what the optimum settings for a road car with the occasional track day are?
I realise alot of it is down to personal driving style but a guide of what to go for would be helpfull

Local Rally prep company have a brilliant deal on 4 wheel laser set up at the moment so thought i'd seize the opportunity to get it set up before my Ring trip.

My rear camber is -1.5 and always had very good even wear mainly centre wear at the rear

I've never altered it on track with the stock adjustable rear arms

I think rear toe is 1mm in each side

Stock rear is fine for track. Get a set of adjustable top mounts for the front struts to enable additional camber to be used for track work:

Top mounts
