hi all,

im wondering, as rear toe-out creates oversteer(at least with rwd cars), does it help to fight understeer on FWD cars? i was thinking about adding a spacer/ring to the rear tie-bar of my rst in order to push the rear wishbone towards the rear and so increasing toe-out. any thought on this? does it help to have the backend of the car pushing outwards when turning in a corner?
how many spacers does the original setp have btw?

thx in advance guys!

 

We do a fully adjustable one so you can play at going in and out until your happy

 

Yes you do and the QUALITY is AWESOME

 

have u got any more info/pics of your setup m8? is that the full rear wishbone setup or just the tie-bar?
whats your experience with just the tiebar having more toe-out?
cheers

 

 

Fook me Tony that all looks trick as fook Wouldn't mind some of that, but maybe a bit overkill for my road going rs

 

I did a bit of searching round on the internet about this as my S1's got adjustable rods on the rear. I managed to find an American site where the guy said that it did.
Not tried it yet, bit concerned about it wearing my tyres out. I intend to have a play next time I do a track day.

S1's do indeed have a threaded rear tie bar. These are still available from motor factors (as I chucked 3 brand new ones away about 12 months ago)

Trouble with just altering that bit is it also affects the rear castor if you go too far. The degrees altered by placing washers behind it cant really be accurate enough.

My rear toe out is measured down to 0ş 05' accuracy and as there are no rubber or poly bushes to give way on cornering it stays there exactly as set.

Adam remember you need to be running some rear coilovers to be able to fit this kit. But its designed in such a way that you just unbolt your old arm and tie bar and replace with the new. All the arms are protected in clear plastic sleeving to keep even the bufty boys happy.



The rear arm (nearest camera) takes care of toe (without upsetting castor), the pair together take care of camber, and the tie bar sorts out any castor changes needed.

All the stuff is plated and powder coated (any colour) so it wont rust (unlike my early prototype one in that pic )

A "little" rear toe out will help cornering Arjan, but a camber change will do it more effectivly

 

You'll need coilovers mind


this is my lot.... Well for now.... LOL

 

I've been seriously thinking about some coilovers.... And what are you trying to say i'm a bufty?



Looks wicked Rad

 

Errm yes, and the bit about easy direct fit was done for you as well

 

cheers m8,thats about what i wanted to know
your rear wishbone setup is definitely worth fitting,too bad i just fitted the hammerited standard wishbone

 

I fitted 2 spanking new rear wish bones 8 months ago and I still took them off and fitted the MEF set up!

How can u set these up when fitted or where can these be set up as i no mine is way out as wheel sit funny

 

Any good 4 wheel alignment place should be able to do it for you jon

 

cheers

 

Any of you guys know as stronger bar without switchin to coilovers?

 

I used to run rose jointed rear wishbones before going full Gp A. This allowed rear camber settings to be changed but still kept use of the std strut and spring set up.
