whats the best set up for handling?

[Gt rob]

got h and r's on my clio its as low as it can go on the rear, and the front sits level with it. i can lower the front a lot more if needed. but i feel it could handle better, should i raise the rear? drop the front?? and my alignment is set to parallel, cant adjust camber either. what can i do with what ive got to improve it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

add camber and toe out, parallel with be gammon!

 

[Gt rob]

cambers non adjustable mate, some people said to raise rear to have more give??

 

[Kam.]

And get Fred to set up the right height properly...

 

[Gt rob]

i can do that myself mate, doesnt need corner weighting or nowt. just dont know wether to drop front/ raise rear etc

Why ask and then not listen? Fred has given you the answer.... Camber bolts will allow you to have camber. Raising the rear might make the ride a little less crashy, but it will make little difference to the handling.

A geometry setup is what you need. Corner weighting is a bit pointless unless it's a race car, the weight distribution is always changing depending on passengers / luggage etc.

Rear arb makes a difference too, gonna try and get myself one this month

Best thing for handling is not to have it's arse dragging the floor,Clio's like rake,get Fred to have a look at it,it will be worth it.

 

[Gt rob]

Oh really

1 spline adjustment on the 5GTT and early clios always gave them a real low rear, the later sprung beam is much better, not too low though!
