FAST ROAD SET-UP
Good morning guys,
After 3 years I think I am close to the end...
So it is set-up time
I am looking for a fast road set-up which will be reasonable on the track as well (including, camber, caster etc) to start with.
My car has the following caracteristics:
RS2000 rear axle (not much I can do there I guess...)
GAZ adjustable shock absorbers
Toyo R888 tyres
185/60/13
205/60/13
What are the common numbers, or the numbers you suggest ?
Furthermore, a few tips on the GAZ adjustability would be of tremendous help.
(Height and stiffness adjustment would be spot on).
Please keep in mind that the car is in Greece, hence shitty asphalt.
Many thanks in advance for your replies !!

For the front draw a line (I used a Lazer level) across the bottom arm, wishbone from chassis mounting bolt to middle of bottom ball joint, this
should be level, for the top wishbone the ball joint should be an inch higher than the top wishbone chassis mounting bolts.
Consider 1/2 to 1 degree toe in, 1 degree camber and 3 to 6 degrees caster as a starting point.
This will give you something to start with, from there you change to suit you driving.

Have a gander through this book which covers the subject very well IMHO and doesn't demand you have £££s worth of measuring equipment.

If you want to have a good feel and predictable oversteer, drift (essential for finding the limits on track) corner weighting is a must. This is from
track experience in old MK, old MAC 1 and present MNR

Thank you for your replies:
Do you guys agree with snapper's indication:
Tow in: 1/2 to 1 degree
Camber: 1 degree
Caster 3 to 6 degrees
What about Coilover adjustment ?

I can understand how braking is affected when trying to slow down in a straight line, but being a simple soul I find it difficult to work out how it
effects drifting or cornering. (I'm sure it does have an effect it's just that I just don't understand how)
