    Re: Transformer arrives in Colchester

    Hi

    some of the best money I ever spent was getting ERICS suspension set up by a proper racing outfit....

    Would any of these be worth a punt ??

    Re: Transformer arrives in Colchester

    Thanks Phil

    At this stage I would rather like to find out if we are in the right ball park and if not make some adjustment and see if this calms things down. I will want it done as accurately as possible in the final analysis, but who knows the right setting other than factory kpi10 camber -1 castor 4???

    My settings are:-

    Front 4.5 deg caster, 2.0 deg neg camber and 0.5 deg toe-in.
    Rear 1.5 deg neg camber and 0.5 deg toe in.

    1.5 degree negative camber on the front probably better for a road car. The rear negative camber may be too much for Group IV rear?

    Ground clearance 16cm front 16.9cm rear. Camber -1 front, 0 rear. Working on castor as it was 4 degrees initially. Think I will up this to 5.

    Tyre pressures 18psi front 22 rear.

    Got to be moving in the right direction there. Pardon the pun....
    Maybe a tad more rake on the chassis. Another cm or so. Does that affect your camber too much?
    Looking for some fine weather to try it out?

    I can crank it up at the back to get more rake, but as you say I want to see what this base line feels like first. Probably will be able to get out on Thursday or Friday if the roads are dry and I have sorted the sticky throttle cable. I can reduce the camber but its a pain unbolting the bottom rose joint.....
