Suspension Setup - Help needed
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi Guys

I have had a look through the previous post, but I can't find any definitive settings for camber, caster, toe etc. I know that the settings will differ, depending on use, components etc, but I just need to get it close.

The car will primarily be used as a weekend thrash. It's got 13x7's (Not ideal I know), Minispares adjustable bottom arms, adjustable tie bars, hi lows, Gaz adjustables, poly bushed/solid mounted everything.

What sort of settings should I go for? I found that Steve (Benross) is using the same wheels -1.25 deg Camber and 5.5 deg Caster. Would this be a good place to start?

Sorry for the manic email. I'm on the rollers this Saturday and fancied getting this sorted first so that I can have some fun on the way home from Uncle Ray!

Thanks in advance

im on 7x13's too and mine its stup for a mix of everything, drag, weekend bash and trackday...

Settings:
Rear Camber - 0.5neg deg
Rear Toe - 1mm each side Toe In
Rear Height 250mm
Front Camber - 0.25 neg deg
Front Toe - 0mm
Front Castor - 5.5deg
Front Height - 230mm

The numbers usually banded around for a road car are:-

Front
-1 degree camber
4 to 5 degree castor
1/16" toe out

Rear
-1/2 degree camber
1/8" toe in

All the above sounds good to me for road use. On the hillclimber we run -2 deg camber at the front with 4.5 castor.
