Suspension Geometery

Mike was always the quickest saloon which is incredible given the toe he was running.

If that camber is per wheel it will look odd at -3.5deg and I doubt the tread will be flat in the turn. Imagine how much quicker he would be with a perfect setup. Difficult times for those in his class.

I agree with Andy -3.5 is huge.

Is the car rolling a lot ?

Using a pyrometer across the tyre tread would tell you what cambers you should be running.

I can highly recommend Northampton Motorsport for geometry set up, very quick and efficient and well priced. They also did all my corner weights etc.

That's really handy to know, they're only 20 miles from me. Thanks Matt

With the geometry the way it is i dont no what the temp range is a cross the tyre, when we where at honnington had so many silly probs to deal with totaly forgot about what the tyres where up to. But back there on the 19th of april and hopefully get some readings. So may need to pull them back a bit. mike

I run -3deg at front on mine and originally used to race with -4.2deg!
only 1.5 at the rear though -totally differant for every car though

Had mine checked at Supertyres at the weekend and as I thought.... Airway tyres had properly cocked up all the settings :evil:

Great alignment job by Lee at Supertyres in Maldon today, and a great price (thanks Mike :thumb: ). As a compromise road/track car I've come away with 2deg camber on the front, 1.5 on the rear. Toe is parallel front and a tiny bit toe-out at the rear (3' total). Car felt great on the twisty roads back up through Finchingfield etc, and on a circuit of my local roads this afternoon.
