Rohan,
Re: my road car.
I read your recent advice to Mark and also been looking in some of the old threads were you give advice on setting up ride height. I have just followed it with my new camber gauge etc.
When I fitted the rear coil overs I fitted some poly foam type rear bump stops. They are those ice cream cone shape ones with the wasted sections so they will convalute (if that is the right word).
I got them from Paul Matty. Supposed to be performace ones. They were 135mm long with 5 segments. I cut the small segment off and have had them fitted for about 6 months. Saying that, the car height is set quite high! With a piece missing they were 100mm. I just measured a standard one at 80mm. i noticed you said extend a standard bush by 20 mm.
I am on with setting up up again and lowered to book horizontal ride height of the bones. I have spent quite a bit of time synchronising the front camber. It was different. I managed to file the top left to equalise. I now have 3/8 of a degree positive at book height. By lowering about 13mm I got 1/2 of a degree negative. I am going to set up at this.
So do you think this is ok with the bump stops. I still have the bits I cut off.
Another question.
I was going to set the car level but soemone said it would be better with the rear sligtly higher. I just want a fast road spec’ and very odd track day use. I realise it is all a compromise. What do you think?
Thanks Mike
