Wil. Why would you run toe in on the rear on a race car? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

What specific racing are you using it for? If you trawl around this site you get a mixed bag of settings. I generally recommend the following to start with. Front Camber -1 to -1.5 Caster 3.5 to 4 (you can go higher, but with the LSDstarting low is the best idea) toe 1.6mm out Rear Camber 0 to -0.5 Toe 2mm in These are a safe basic guide. Once you drive it, you can adjust it dpending on how you drive and how the car feels. Scottish Classic Saloon and Sportscars I have been around the site and get a very mixed bag! Your settings below are what I was thinking! What about the hight? The rear end is tubed?? (The car still needs to be MOTed but will not be on the road) Edited by Alex Gibson on 22nd Apr, 2012. |

No wories, Veg and I have a history of different views on rear setup. I like to crash forwards, he likes to crash backwards!!

It's just that I cannot get my car around corners with toe in or even straight rear wheels. It understeers. If someone gets their car to do what they want with toe in, fine. However, I'd advise on running parallel rear wheels due to less drag.

What about anti-roll bars? I run front and rear ARBs. I coud not get the front stiff enough with the rubber doughnust available. The beauty is that you can use the ARBs to alter the balance of the car. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I think we can see from this thread that handling is all down to personal preference.
If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
