Front Wheel Settings?

[Aprisa]

I am still not happy with the Steering feel of the car and wondered how many of you had actual readings for your Camber/Castor and alignment?

I have access to some gauges and will try and measure mine next week, would like something to compare it to.

From what Eddy was saying tyre pressures are a massive influence, as expected with havign a relatively light front end. What are your fronts set to?

Pretty sure its 20psi.

Just remembered you aren't running standard wheels either, didn't you change them to improve steering? What offset and width are your current ones?
Pressure sounds about right to me, apparently you shouldn't go below 20psi as that is a minimum for tyre design..

No, I went back to standard as the others were making the steering even heavier! just had them powder coated Gun-Metal.

Nick, when you say you arent happy with the feel of it, what is it you dont like?
Myself and Rich both have power steering in ours, and the only complaint i have with mine is the lack of self centering, this i am working on though.
My front tyres are lower than 20, around 18 iirc. Definately makes a big difference.
If yours is too heavy maybe try 25?
AS for camber, im running 0, and a tiny amount of toe in. But running maximum caster, cant remember what it equates to, but there is no adjustment left to get more on unless i change one of the wishbones.

I agree with Eddy and I have the same set-up.. What's your idea for self-centring Eddy? Mine isn't that bad now but room for improvement.
