Hillclimb settings

[sti5300]

Hi Australia, I hillclimb a 97 Type RA and would like to know what you Guys Down under would suggest for camber or toe settings.:)

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not as easy to answer as what you would like it to be, as you will need to provide some more information regarding tyres that you are using (semi-slick etc..) & spring rates on the vehicle.
This information will determine the camber that you can use with out being too excessive.

Look forward to hearing your response.

I have a Type RA which naturally comes with alloy wishbones, all UK cars have steel wishbones with a built in rear pivot. The guy I bought a spare set from had undone the 2 bolts which fix the steel pivot. As the threads are metric fine anyone got the suggested torque values for these. The English manual makes no reference to them.:)

Hello,

This information is still of no assistance for me to provide any particular wheel alignment settings that you should use.
Please let me Know the shocks fitted, tyre type and spring rates that are used.

Hello Andrew,

Going off all of the information that you have given me, I would suggest to have the toe set at 0.0mm/side front and rear and the cambers set at a little bit more negative front (-2.50 to -2.75) and rear (-1.75 to -2.0) depending on the circuit.

I understand what you are saying in regards to the article, it is a bit confusing. What we ended up setting the toe at is neutral toe (0.00mm/side).

I hope this helps you.
