Track car geometry

[samben]

Having done a few trackdays in my 197 now I'm looking alter the geometry a little.

car is running kW clubsports already so maybe looking at playing with camber front/rear

just wondering what sort off camber/toe setups people are using?

If can search on here, there is the CUP extreme settings which are pretty good. Also about 2.5 degrees camber at front. Saves wearing tyres out too quick on insides

Ok il have a look thanks

i seem to remember reading something on here that the cup racers run around 3 degrees neg on the front and 2 on the rear?

seems a lot!

Looks like you could do with shimming the toe a little on the rear beam.

The rear has been shimmed already, I guess we could spend more time (and money) but its pretty close to parallel which is what we were aiming for

It blows my mind how far out they come from the factory!

Yep factory settings are pretty poor and the tolerances are so wide !!!

Not just Reno though - seen it on Fords and Scoobys
