Suspension update advice required

Stop adding goodies to your shopping list and make sure Oli has it all put back together in time for Bedford [:D]

Anyway it doesn't matter how much you all improve your handling I'm still going to get in your way through the corners then floor it down the straight a'la overpowered comfortable barge :ROFLMAO:
 
Peter, where were you thinking about getting your Dynatech camber plates from? I've not seen those before.
 
Thanks Peter, these sound like the dogs dangly bits. I like the feature that you just adjust the plates from fully outboard for the street to fully inboard for the track so you are not messing around with partial settings as with the other plates on the market - it's all dialed into the extremities of the adjustments range. With this product I feel I could actually use the adjustment feature when I do hit track days.

You mention the adjustment..Road to track..
Thats exactly what i wanted to do...
BUT
when i had my car "geometrized" by Hartech. They told me this wasnt possible as when you adj the camber, you also adj the toe settings...NOT GOOD....[&o][&o][:mad:][:mad:][:mad:]
 
Thanks Dave, that explains that one then!

Fingers crossed the Leda camber plates will do the job I want as I'm running out of time to order much else. [:eek:]
 
I use the Lindsey ones and adjust them from one extreme to the other. My car is set up with maximum allowable toe-out on the road setting which gives only slightly more than maximum allowable toe-in at track setting. The extra camber made a huge difference to turn-in and understeer resistance and the tyre wear looked fine, so I wouldn't worry too much about the change in toe.

I took a good look at the Dynatech website today and noticed it hasn't been updated sind mid-2005!! Not a good sign then. However I did get to speak to them and they mentioned they were thinking about another production run of the camber plates, but I think it will all be too late for me also. I'm back to the Racers Edge ones now. It's a shame because the Dynatech ones did seem a great technical solution for those who want a road/track car as it has a seperate thrust bearing to take the weight of the car but with a poly-bush to take the sting out of the bumps in the road leaving the rose bearing to take care of the sideways forces on the strut-top.

Depends on what tyres you are running. If you have mahoosive 18" with rubber bands then running 1+ degree of camber (great for track) will wear the inners. If you have more flexible tyres (aspect ratio is higher) then the side wall flex means that you should be able to keep your settings on the road.

Thats what I`m trying anyway.[8|] on my 16" D90`s. More tyre wall flex within reason means more tyre on the road evenly.

BTW the camber setting is only a concentric bolt so once the road and track settings are known a simple dot punch registers them [;)] Dont know that you need to worry too much re the toe? Dont think these car run a lot anyway?? Might be wrong but I`m still learning 951`s [8|]
 
Don't worry about the toe was what I was trying to say.

1 degree negative (not +1) is my road setting. Track is 3 1/2 degrees negative.

Sorry to confuse. I meant 1 degree plus (an amount) negative. I`ve set up at 1.5 constant (front) 1.0 rear and toed up accordingly so I`ll see how it goes.

BTW 3 1/2 is loads [;)]

 
OK, I just wanted to be clear; positive camber would be an interesting track proposition.

3 1/2 degrees IS loads. It's plenty to give that visibly "tipped in" look to the wheels that make a car look seriously track.
