Tony Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Hello... The GTE has a relatively fixed chassis... Have you fitted any aftermarket adjusters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbd16v Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Hello...The GTE has a relatively fixed chassis... Have you fitted any aftermarket adjusters? yep, gaz gold coilovers front and rear, and eccentric top mounts on the front. im interested in shimming the rear hubs to make the rear camber right but i dont know what to start with when it comes to values gaz made the coilovers with 2.5 degs of camber as they said thats alot closer to the correct terack set up i want it corner weighted and all the camber caster ETC set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ok track is the main body of work... Our main problem is going to be the rear... As i'm sure your aware the hub will need to be shimmed with a "shim disc". Historically the GTE offers little camber gains at the rear when lowered so i order to belay over-steer the shims need to be quite aggressive. The final calibration is dependant on the final position of the rear camber/toe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
