Suspension setup figures

[Edd]

Having the car setup on Saturday for suspension
I know its been posted before but i'm busy at work and cannot search all day
I have Tein Coilovers, adjustable front top pillowball mounts and adjustable rear camber bolts and bumpsteer kit
Am having camber and caster setup along with wheels aligned and the whole car corner weighted 8)

Whats the best camber and castor settings for front and rear thanks.

May I suggest some 300lb springs for the passenger side and some 600lb springs for the drivers side to even out the loads

Will happily be proven wrong but I don't know if you can adjust castor with your pillow ball top mounts. Often its only camber that's adjustable.

The whiteline road camber settings are okay. -1 to -2 front's is pretty standard and on the Gti-R, a difference of 0.5 is realistic front to back.

Remember, additional camber will reduce straight line grip (Acceleration and braking)

Adjusting toe can really improve or mess up a car's handling. :roll:

Toe out at front or rear will make it more agile, toe in will make it more stable, both will wear out your tyres more quickly. I would advise leaving these as standard in the short term. With the engine being over the front I would have expected to see more toe out there with possibly a hint of toe in at the rear given your car is +400bhp to tame power oversteer. Frankly I'd leave them alone at whatever Nissan say as the car's suspension will dynamically toe anyway once moving.

The advantage of pillow ball's is you can adjut them yourself. Ask the aligment guy to setup 1deg of camber and 2 deg of camber front and 0.5 to 1.5 back. Mark them off with tippex etc.

Then get the front on -1.5 and the back on 1. If you don't like it, you can adjust it yourself.

If in doubt, use a safe setting on one thing whilst try to understand the effect of another.

Cheers,
Jim.
