Default 2wd Cosworth camber castor toe angles height etc.. UPRATED??

The car:- 2wd Cosworth

Mods:-
Adjustable TCA's
AVO Coilovers

I would like to know the best settings for the above two items for a road and also some track sessions going quick in straight line but needs to hold the road for bends and twists.

Future mods will be some sort of adjustable rear end. I would like to fit Mag works rear end but need more info on what brakes are needed? If a std type exhaust will fit and clear the mag arms? How would you have a handbrake other than hydrolic? + Anything else that could effect the fittment.

Any helps would be great Thanks in advance.

There are so many things to take into account

wheel and tyre size , for one

What you need adju, TCA"s for is to get more neg, camber , if you go too far then you will just scrub the inside of the tyre of in no time at all but will corner great

The man setting the car up shoud have a good idea how far to go to make it useable on the road

I think my escoss had about 3 degrees extra neg camber ,, you dont need a lot

Spent all day today getting the settings right. Took a few times before it felt right on the bends.

Also new tyres fitted 205/40/16 Toyo Prada

Just need to sort out the rear beam setup now..

Im just about to fit adjustable TCA's to my 2wd saph. Does the tracking need to be re-calebrated every time you alter the camber?

yes every time you adjust the camber it knocks the toe out
