when cars on the four wheel aligner will adjust camber to -1 degree and tracking to 1 degree then


and on the tyres side, just swap tyres left to right! :lol:

this would be good in the tutorials section!

i thought corsa's were around -1.5degree negative camber from the factory. I have always thought it was too much and had thought about taking the rears down to 1.25 but werent sure about toe settings.

was going to set mine up as 1.5 degree camber, but will do one degree now :)

and the tracking 1 degree toe - what will that help (over 0 degree standard?)

Remember that setting it up for handling will mean it's not going to be particularly good on tyres (if anyone cares about tyres :lol: )

I need a car worth setting up :(

I'd want a fair amount of toe out at the front, slight toe in at the rear, and more negative camber at front than rear...

I'd like it over steery with a slidey rear.

ok cheers just wanted to sharpen up the feel and turn in of my sport,
tracking could be out and tyres are michelin i think, ill get tracking done and fit my good wheels see what effect that has

need coilovers and adjustable top mounts. and somewhere with decent geometry setting stuff. not your local quickfit.

can anywhere set this up?

or do you need adjutable top mounts etc etc

well we spent 3 hours on it and still didnt finish it, far too many distractions to have a proper go. but we did get it half done, this is where we got to:

1 degree negative camber
1 degree toe out
about 2-3 degrees negative castor (machine decided it didnt like doing castor and was playing up a bit)

didnt get to adjust the rear beam at all, will get it all finished on the weekend when the workshop is a bit quieter.

the difference it has made is fantastic, turns in so much better and grip seems endless, can push it round bends so much faster then before. will be getting it finished then off for some practice laps at teeside autodrome to see how it goes, I will get some vids:)

How much does it cost to have your suspension setup? As i'll hopefully be getting an adjustable set of spax shocks for the front and i haven't got a clue what i'm doing!!!

mine needs more feel, its a little remote atm, and doesnt seem as planted as it shud be,
ill see what happens when i fit my good wheels and tyres.

no but they will give people an ide of what to set theirs to as a guide, not everyone has access to £20k suspension setup equipment

Yea id say it could be very usefull for some people:thumbs:

will you be able to get a rough idea of factory toe settings for the rear. It is in haynes already but i'd like to know if its any different.

not sure if anyone is interested but wondered if suspension settings are of any use to people as project Vsport is off to get the suspension and geometry all setup tomorrow on a proper computerised alignment testbed with corner weights etc...

we will be playing with settings on the camber, castor, toe, ride height, spring poundages etc until we find the best setup.

I am 90% sure they print out all of the results but if they dont I can write them down if anyone wants them?
