Having tracking done on 182, what should i ask for?

[BlakeTillz]

Having the tracking done at wawrick protyre soon, ive got vmaxx coilovers. At the min ive got neg 1 degree camber, so the lad i bought it off said he got done when coilovers were fitted by James Stone. What toe, camber, etc would be best for road use?

basically what im asking is for the perfect road set up?

Thanks

Blake

1.5deg neg camber and zero toe is what I'd be asking for

 

[BlakeTillz]

Sweet mate nice one nice car btw is that wat you got for yor camber and toe?

 

[Edges]

Thanks LY friends! Not too far from you either. I set mine to 2.4deg camber as it's on RSR tyres and doing a track day on Saturday.. Just road driving on road tyres 1.5 would be ideal I think

 

[BlakeTillz]

Yeaa haha LY Friendss!! I know man you going css? Ahh okay so neg 1.5 deg camber and 0 min toe?

Been a while since I've had any geo done to Clios, but on my last Clio I had 1.5 degrees negative camber and 3mm toe out. IIRC the toe out gives a nice little turn into corners

Will the 3mm toe make my tyres wear a little faster?

There's going to be a compromise in tyre wear but you have to sacrifice a little to gain in other areas if that makes sense. It really depends what you want being a road car, mileage, spirited driving. I personally found it a benefit with that setup on road, take into account driving style on spirited B Road blasts.

So 1.5 neg camber and 3mm toe out? Will see how it goes then

It worked for me, seemed like a good setup for road, back road blasts and the occasional trackday. The toe out was a nice little tweak and made a difference for me.

Maybe someone else has a 2nd opinion on the toe out

one of the reasons front wheel drive cars are toed out is because under acceleration the wheels want to pull themselves forward and this causes toe in under power. if you set up parralel you will be toed in most of the time.

So would you be suggesting 1.5 neg camber and 3mm toe out?

i cant comment on the specifics of clio setup as i dont have one sorry. il leave that to the other guys but i would imagine factory specs would be a little toe out on front so just get a factory tracking setup and 1.5 camber sounds fine for the road. on track its not enough though.

 

[Naith]

0.5 toe out on the ph1 tomorrow and 1.5/2 deg neg camber as recommended by Josh Cook so who am I to argue.

 

[Edges]

3 mm toe out is huge, you'll be wearing the inners fast.. A little bit, 1mm toe out would be nice but I just think as a pure road car it doesn't it.

BlakeTillz what did you go for in the end?

Hopefully getting it donetomorrow matey

3mm toe out on road will be all over the place on undulating roads, I ran that on my race car on billiard table smooth tracks.
1.5mm toe out on road car is what I'm using, -1° camber on front.
If it's a track car get the geometry set up properly by a race firm.

Im gonna stick with 1.5 neg camber and ask them wat they think about the toe

 

[wayneashford]

-1.5° will be OK on twisty roads, I think you'll struggle with 3mm toe out but try it and see how you get on.

 

[BlakeTillz]

Going today to get it done, people telling me different things. Im defo keeping my toe to 0 amd camber. Do i do it to neg 1.5 or neg 1? Help guys

 

[Pat 182]

Go -1.5 chamber for starters + needs small amount of toe?!

[Pat 182]

Dont know mate sorry but needs abit the lads where youre taking it will (should) know?!

Ive not long been put and jacked up the front wheels and held 3-9 and gave them a wiggle and there is very slight movement and can hear something knocking on something when wiggling the wheels. Does somet need changing?
