Actually, now ive got mine, and my track day is done- which handled terribly in the wet by the way, I could do with a decent all round fast road set up instead. Just stable but still quick for country lanes and the like. I presume the caster would be reduced now as would the toe?? Cheers. I will go to Langs when i'm next off work to get it set up until my next 'DRY' track day.

I would love to advise, but only got the rods yesterday whilst i was slowly driving around Oulton Park. ;-) . There does seem to be quite a bit of adjustment on the threads though. Will be interesting to find out how much it will move when theyre fitted. At least 30mm adjustment in the thread

Camskill.

Right i should have my Tein tension rods tomorrow, and also getting ez camber bolts for the rear to fine tune it. Rang Langs again, and he's said that you gave him some figures to try out. However, with the caster now being adjustable, will thoses figures change much if the caster is decreased??

Excellent. Cheers tony. I'm on nights at mo, so will give them a call tomorrow when i get up and discuss when they can look at it again. Ideally tomorrow late afternoon. Sadly i doubt i'll be able to get adjustable tension rods in time for my track day on friday, but will have a look anyway.

Sorry, must have been writting as you replied. ha. So would it be worth getting adjustable tension rods to adjust my caster a tad then? What are the toe in values you just said, in mm?? Determined to get it how i want it. the track is the Oulton Park Full Circuit, so its pretty long. also my steering wheel is pointing slightly to the right when driving straight. As all the thrust angles are bob on, does that just mean i need to remove my steering wheel and turn it a bit? Cheers again. Think were writing at same times again. Thought that might have happened with the call to be honest. Just didnt want to suggest he just call you again to check to avoid appearing desperate, or that he might be lost without your guidance. :-). So how should the back be ideally then? Less camber, more toe?

Right i have just visited NigellangGarage today in bolton. The fella looking at my car tried to ring you Tony, but you were busy and sadly we didnt get the call back before i had left. Anyway, I dont know why, but my camber had changed somewhat from getting it done at Drurylane Services in Oldham the week before. It was at -1.3 on one side and -0.3 on the other when they initially checked it at NigelLang today. Bizarre. It is now set at 1.3ish both sides in the front, and toe has been reduced to .1 per side at front. I think i'd still like more initial cornering feel on the turn in. What camber would you recommend on the front, before the rear starts getting twitchy? The back is at -2 on left and -1.5 on right. Tar

Well at the moment, ive got -1 on both sides on the front camber, and +1mm on the toe. The caster is fixed at 3.40 ish. On the rear its -1.5 camber and 2.8mm on the toe. My dampers are set sorfer at the back at the moment for drag starts, but will hopefully firm them up for the track. They are currectly on 7th click from firmist on front, and 12th from firmist on rear. At the moment it just feels very understeery. Like its wants to go wide at the front. Will more -ve front camber sort this out?? I'd rather have oversteer to be honest. Cheers

I have also just fitted some of these BC RM coilovers. Just wondering how you've got them set up Jon. I've got my first track day this Friday, and i'm after an ideal setting. How much camber have you got on the front and toe? Also, what settings have ya found best with the dampers? Cheers
