Geo setup help - 182 Mainly road, private road blast and occasional trackday

[nath&alex]

Hi,

A little help/advice please for 182 geo setup

I am just putting my 182 suspension back together after fitting Pure Motorsport top mounts and brace. I am using standard cup shocks with Eibach Pro Lowering Springs. For normal road use I'll have standard cup wheels with conti sports and then for track I have speedline 2118s with Dunlop DZ03G track tyres.

My car is mainly used for travel to and from work with private road blasts and the odd trackday use. Please could someone offer advice for settings to give the guy when I go for new tyres and wheel alignment/geometry tomorrow?

cheers

Nath

I use it the same way you do....standard geo eith 1'30" camber.
Though after the first trackday i might want to go a little more on camber!

I read some recommended settings in a thread on here that a slight bit of toe out and 2 degrees negative camber will give great handling characteristics.

I decided (as the toe out makes the steering feel twitchy) to go with parallel alignment and 1.5 degrees negative camber. I'm massively impressed with the way it feels when taking corners quickly but had mis-aligned suspension and overly worn top mounts beforehand so it may not be the most ideal comparison.
