Best track geometry

[Cupman29]

What settings are everyone running for track use on coilovers including ride height, caster, camber, etc....

Is it lower the better or is there a limit on how low to go?

Looking at fitting coilovers over the winter ready for next years track season.

there is no correct answer, its what suits you and your driving style

As above...there is no 'correct' setup.

I got my coilovers built and set-up to the same spec as the Burpspeed race car (clio), and I think it's awesome, and everyone who's been in the car says the same too.

You'd have to ask them about the set-up, but I know it's -3 camber on the front.

^i'll disagree though naturally

lol quiet you

Its a very personal thing and there is no magic setting.

Parallel is good place to start

I wouldnt get out of bed with that setting.

Too many variables, tyre specification, slip angles, sidewall structure etc, X negative camber might work well with one tyre and terrible with the next, let alone toe and castor settings.
Best bet is have a play about and decide for yourself, i ended up running just under 3 degrees negative, would i have run more had it been available? who knows, would i have run less? No, but they were my settings for my tyres and driving style.

If your asking what would be a reasonable starting point for a clio road car on road tyres for track use, then i'd start with around 2 degrees negative camber, stock toe and castor (the latter being un-adjustable on the stock clio, having said that so is the camber without the addition of different dampers or bolts) and go from there.

Thanks 480bhp, appreciate it!
