Track car camber whats best?

[Scottty4eva]

I have a clio 172 sitting weitec suspenion with camber adjustable bolts and 16inch oz wheels.

The car is only used for track days so what would be the best adjustment that im after for best results?

Depends on tyres, drivers style and ability
Someone will be along in a mo but start with 2 degrees neg on the front and about 2mm toe out total ..... unless someone suggests better

Thanks for that il adjust it tomorrow and see what that gives me unless someone else has ideas

I run 2.2degrees camber and 7 seconds out each side. I'm getting fairly even tyre wear and excellent handling.

I've done 5 trackdays on 1 set of used AO48s and they were on the limit when I started to use them so I'm rather chuffed.

2.2 neagtive and 7degrees out you mean?

 

[Fraser.J.]

Well I don't mean positive!

7 degrees out? No I mean seconds lol

No, you meant minutes.

Possibly can't say I'm sure. I knew it certainly ain't degrees

Handy for comparing like with like when theres mm and degrees mentioned at the same time. Or, setting your own geometry

I run between 2-3 degrees of neg camber on the front normally and either parellel or tiny bit of toe out.

That's mine, and its a ph1 not a mk3 lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Makes your caster look puny when next to the mk3 figures, lol.

 

[Fraser.J.]

What do mk3 run caster? I have cup wishbones which has definitely added more.
