Correct coilover and wheel setup

[Jesske]

How low for front and rear to have a very good setup?
Did anyone changed camber or anything else?
I want to set up my H&R coilovers and wheelsettings on my 182, but don't know what to do.

Thank you

is there a problem if so whats the problem ?

its hard to say exactly, but i have them pretty low so the sill of the car is exactly horizontal to the floor, camber anywhere from -0.5 to -3.5 depending upon requirements and always with slight toe in

here here but i still need them custom rear springs to get the back a bit lower i run 3degrees toe in gives the back a bit of ease off over steer.


rear springs fred any looking finding any.

thanks

3degrees toe in!!! christ

 

[Big Bob]

just remember more camber less braking ability though as the wheels have less contact on the ground.

 

[Big Bob]

what whats wrong with 3 degrees

 

[Fred@BTM]

thats quite alot front toe!

 

[Big Bob]

yes the guys at kwik fit looked at me funny when i asked for it to be done like that,its good fun though but you have to be awake.

Quite variation of camber there Fred!

 

[Fred@BTM]

as i said it depends on the application!

road use or cup racers, we setup up clios for all sorts

 

[stan*]

do you base your figures on factory handouts, or your own real test data from the track?

 

[Fred@BTM]

track testing, we have specific settings for most of the uk tracks for our more serious customers, but even then it can boil down to personnal preference

 

[stan*]

doesnt it always?!

 

[Fred@BTM]

alot of the time yes, but having our own data to use as a "base" can come in handy

On H&R's I can recommend you:
Back end wound down completely, shortening the bump stop for 15mm at least
Front end 20-30mm higher than the rear measured from the bottom of the rim to the wheel arch
Minimum camber and about 12" toe out for the road
-1.5 camber and 0-10mm toe out for occasional track days
You can have you car setup much more agressively, but you loose on driveability

3degs of toe in will affect performance and ruin tyres imo.
