Whos setting it up for you?!
i set it up next meet if u want
Thanks for the offer buddy but i've just had it set up

(i was gonna call and see if you were available, but i couldn't find time to get to your neck of the woods , but again thanks for the offer)

The beam is fookin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i just had it set up at Chemix in Wordsley (they have some great gear for this sort of thing )

basically the settings when we got there were ;

just over 2degrees camber on the rear left and about 1.5degrees rear right, which wasn't too bad tbh....but the toe was a 'little' bit out we had 6.1mm toe in on the rear left and 8.6mm toe in on the rear right (just shows how setting by eye is impossible )

Afterwards i now have ;

2 degrees camber either side
1mm toe in either side.



they also gave me a graphs of all of the geometry settings, with front/rear setback, lateral offset, track width difference and axle offset, i'll post these if any1 is interested, although i doubt you are

Driving the car now is just so so good , the rear end feels so connected, you turn the car in a little and the rear follows so sharply, it almost surprise you tbh lol...and then when you put the power down as your exiting a corner, the car feels more stable and less likely to bite....before it felt like you could actually feel the bushes struggling to keep the suspension where it was supposed to be, and it gave it a very twitchy feel. Now you can put the hammer down and the car will exit smoothly and without drama.

I've yet to drive it really really hard, but as soon as i do i'll give my findings lol!

MASSIVE THANKS TO BROM, THE BEAM IS AWESOME, THANKS MATE
adjustability is the key to get any car handling anywhere near good as even from shell to shell you will struggle to keep the same settings on std parts.
personally i prefer alittle more toe than that for straight line stability but you will probably never get to try it any other way, but if your hapy with it then all is good

and if you set it up with lazer alignment then keeping the steering wheel straight is a piece of piss
