Hi All,

Seeing as ive had all the suspension and wishbones out etc, im going to have the car set up again so any one know what the ideal set up is for toe in/toe out etc???

For all of you who dont know, its a 400se with standard 15" oz split rims running 225/50/15's

Thanks all...

Hello mate,

Sorry it's not an answer to the question you just asked!

But I bumped into you at the Virginia Waters meet, last November.

You asked me where the ali indicator stalks, that are in my car, came from.

I have just been looking through a pdf of the RT racing catalogue. They are in there!

£49.95 exc vat.

No idea .. I would think Richard Thorpe would know .. not many others would know this kind of stuff.

Hi Matt-Man

I can give yoy a guide line to what the car should run if this helps

To start off camber- front -1 deg rear -1.5 deg
Toe front parallel to plus 1 deg toe out rear -1 to -1.2 deg toe in, if you like the rear to be more lively i would put plus 0.5 deg to 1 deg toe out
Caster on front aroudn 6 deg ish
Ride hight front the roll barr should be about level and the rear i would set about 10mm higher as it will squat down under power and weight of driver and copilot

Hope this helps
