What I've learnt - When putting new suspension on, let it settle before doing a track day, otherwise the geo will look like this.

First image when fitted, looks good. Second image done today.

Pax with Shimmy, his car felt so stable through Eau Rouge mainly due to the driver and set up, mine didn't seem to dig in like Shimmy's, but didn't feel too bad. Looking at today's before settings I can see why, 2mm toe out on the left rear and camber's all over the place. That's my excuse for being so slow

not too bad, still under 3 mins with passenger and a bit of traffic, should go better next year

I just looked at my version of that sheet from W-I-M earlier this year, and the target numbers on yours are quite different. I've got a target of 1deg30" for both front and rear camber, whereas yours is 1deg45" and 2deg00".

Did you ask them for more of a track geo than the standard settings ?

Yes more track biased, just tell them what settings you want and they do it

OK, makes sense. Mine was well out of whack before they adjusted it (it had some rear misalignment that meant you had to steer to the right all the time to go straight on!) but the steering is also much lighter afterwards, which I'm not so keen on. Might get them to have another bash at it sometime then.
