Lotus elise wheel alignment settings
Hi guys.
I hope this is of some help. Settings for the Lotus Elise.
Front
Ride height 130mm
0.2 of a degree toe out overall
Camber -0.1 of a degree each.
Rear
Ride height 130mm
1.2mm Toe in each side. (0.18 of a degree each side.)
-1.8 of a degree Camber
And once car settles, it all needs to be adjusted again!

The Elise settings probably aren't a bad starting point, but I'd imagine the dynamic geometry of an Elise is vastly different (better!) than the 5exi. The optimum settings for a decent road compromise might be quite different.

I agree John, it's about playing to find out. But all the post's I'm seen seems to be on guess work on what other 5EXI owners have done.
At least it's a start point to go from a similar car, from Lotus. Not gess work.

Guys
Would I be correct in thinking that Marlin offer a free set up for the suspension?

It was mentioned in one of the magazines, but when I got mine done by Marlin, Terry said that was wrong and Marlin charge for it.
