Hi Guys,

Changed my settings a bit since I posted . Currently running:-

Front - toe out by approx 0.5mm. 1/4 deg neg camber.

Rear - toe in by approx 1mm each side, 1/2 deg neg camber


These seem to be OK...front toe out slightly helps any wandering on the road. Front camber setting is with no pass / driver...when 2 up this figure is a fair bit nmore (not measured it) but visualy as the suspension is lower, the camber alters accordingly.

As for the rear.....yes I too have experienced the "whoooooo...what was that" moment. Tends to be on throttle back / coasting at speeds over 80 (on track of course). Initially this did seem worse with less toe in at the rear...running 1mm each side helped the feel and I'm contemplating going upto about 1.5mm each side to see if this helps further. That said, I still need to fiddle with the track control arms front and rear to get the bumpsteer sorted.

Rich
