As a guide, just wanting to see what camber you guys have yours set to? I want to keep a certain amount of mild negative camber and will adjust the rears to sit at the same angle. I like equal camber fr/rr as it makes the car look balanced.

 

I'm now running a +25mm offset at the front and a +35mm at the rear which is pretty much as far as you can go without rolling the wings. I am not sure it's as aggressive as I'd have wanted, still looks good..... I am considering coilovers next year.

 

Having all my tracking and camber sorted at Protyre tomorrow, so it should feel and look a lot better. :)

The stock setup is what you need and it will be stored in protyres database. Just make sure they dont over tighten the front arm screws and that the rear rose joints are straight when tightend they are real amatures at protyre and always skive out of work mainly coz the staff are lazy buggers, well at the one i go to anyway.

 

You can however have a slight bit of extra toe in/out and camber -/+ as long as its within tolerence they usualy just adjust it so its in the green then leave it where it is so if i was you id watch them do it so they dont try to con ya, they will give you a print out anyway.

I only fitted adj tension rods at the front. I have the rear camber arms. When eventually I do go for coilovers, I'll get the rear tension rods also.

 

I am worried about the front tension rods. What Jimmer did was measure them against the old stock ones and adjusted. Drop is only subtle, so really, they shouldn't need to touch the tension rods, just adjust the camber arms?

i didnt mention the tension arms???? But the front caster will be pushed back slightly though so you may want to have the front tensions adjusted, it does make a diference to the feel and gives a more pointy setup as i think when lowered the caster is pushed back and the wheels point more outwards which makes steering feel a bit less responsive.

 

You wont really need rear traction arms unless you chuck your hicas.

 

But you will need to adjust your camber even with a little lowering they still are affected and will wear the inside of your tyres in no time.

Wheels point more outwards? Not sure I follow? You mean like this? (see front wheels)

 

Only had mine done today after doing the rear ball joints and adding the new rear upper arms.

 

Heres a copy of te printout.

 

I wondered why it was a bit skitish on the way there, look at how far out the rear was.

 

Si. Have a look at this site for info on setups etc.

no i mean the toe is affected an the wheels point outwards like when you look at the car from the front not from the side.

Oh right, you mean the track. Sorry.

Thanks for the info Darrell.

toe-in cast-out ;)

Did somebody mention rear tension rods they havent got any they have rear traction arms and rear upper camber arms ,Im using cusco rear upper arms and running parrel toe ,as for the front tension rods im using ARC set too the same setting as the standard one semms fine.
