Chassis set up info request

Morning all, at the point now where I need to set the camber, toe in, ride height etc, and wondered if anyone out there had a set of good known values to use as a starting point. Sierra based haynes roadster with Zetec engine if it helps.

Cheers

Adrian

Hi, pretty sure that the Haynes has five inch clearance chassis to road surface, and possably 5.5" at the rear. Toe in will be around 2mm. Camber is pretty much dictated by how the car handles, I have mine set to just half a degree, but this was after some trial and error, (plus it's definatly NOT a Haynes) Hope that gives you somewhere to start. Regards Ray

Cheers Ash. Did you manage to set toe at home, or get it done elsewhere?
