joeB12 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 A few questions being asked about a good fast road or 'B road' set up for these. Thought I'd post up what's worked for us! Wheels/Tyres (Rear) - 9Jx17 43 Offest 245/40x17 Toyo T1Sport Wheels/Tyres (Front) - 8Jx17 33 offset (With a 3mm spacer) 215/40x17 Toyo T1R Suspension - BC Racing Trim height - 320mm Front 330mm Rear From the centre of the hub to the TDC of the wheel arch. Adjustable dampers set to 9 'clicks' from soft front and rear. Alignment set-up Front Camber -1.20 Caster 3/4 degrees Toe 0.6 Total Rear Camber -1.50 Toe 0.10 Total These settings are seen as quite aggressive by the Mr2 crowd. But after alot of trial and error it seems to be what is working best, without killing the tyres! Over all with this particular set-up the car is behaving just as it should, feels great and really fun to drive! Would definitely recommend! Hope it's helpful!

Tony Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Reads good to me, well done. Problem you can have with cars like the MR2 is there's very little weight on the front wheels. It's for this reason the SAI is very declined, ranging from 13 50' to 14 52' degrees. This configuration tends to make the steering feel very light and lazy, they push on tight bends and reluctant are to return the steering. A solution would have been adjustable castor with additional camber and a smattering of extra toe but alas the castor is fixed outside of the MK1?
