Which Suspension Settings?

[Guest Jomeo69]

Afternoon all.

 

On a bit of a posting binge ATM as getting near the end of the build and Goya get stuff dun.

 

So what sort of front and rear suspension geometry do people suggest for a zetec superspec? With regards to camber and all the other jaz?

 

I know some before have used some very specific settings but trying to get it sorted for via and all that I may need sum help.

 

Massive thanks again in advance.

not sure of the setup but just remember that if you lower the front suspension the front indicators need to be a minimum height from the floor.

 

We fitted front indicators at correct height etc then lowered the front suspension a little not thinking about the indicator height. luckily it is an easy fix to raise the front end again but saves a simple failure on the IVA test.

Just going to the pub will send some info later mower man

I think the general consensus for the front is 2 degrees negative camber and, between straight and 1 degree toe in for the track.

 

When Mick gets back from the pub, he'll be able to tell you the castor settings and explain it all in more detail, it's his specialist subject at the moment.....he he, thanks for you help Mick

 

Cheers

Hi just got back from the pub ---here we go --1- camber 1to 2degs pos

 

2track--1mm toe in

3 castor ---5to 8 degs steering should self centre smartly but not enough to break your wrists .

4--ride height 4 to 5"under sumo and perhaps another 1"under diff 5 shock settings if Gaz 6to 8 clicks from full soft then play the 2 up 1down game

6 tyre press 18 ish depends on tyre size but that will not be far away

Ride hieght first then camber ,caster and finally track. This is v imp hieght changes the angles!!

For the rear 1to2 camber and alittle toe in if you can adjust it.

these are a guide only !it may be wise to talk to Richard at GBS ,I have run my car at these settings for quite a while and it suits me [not a track day car but gets a good thrutching]HTH mower man remember check every thing twice and ensure all fastners are secure!!
