Geometry setting for 2009 Elise SC
Discussion
Below is from Seloc Wiki and this is the reason why I thought I'd ask the PH possy but for those in the know how I guess.
My manual has a supplement for the SC to go with the old manual, there is no info in this suppliment on geo set up for mine. Is it a simple case of same set up for all Elise?
From Seloc Wiki:
When asking questions on the forums about "the best geo for ..." the following need to be considred so make an effort to specify;
What you are using the car for (road, sprint race, endurance race)
Tyre spec (section & compound)
Spring rates
Damper spec and settings
Ride height
Current Geo settings
Perceived problems with current setup
EDIT:
To add:
Using car for road mostly.
Tyre spec (AD048)
Spring rates (not sure)
Damper spec and settings (not sure)
Ride height (How do I find out?)
Current Geo settings
Perceived problems with current setup (some shake)
Second Edit:
Your help is very much appreciated!

Where abouts are you? A decent specialist that could do the geo for you could then be recommended. They'd talk you through what you want.
I'm in the Shropshire West Mids area, thanks. I have located a garage that can do the job but they have no record in their computer. I know s
t basically! Cheers.With the greatest I'd give the place you're intending to use a miss: a Lotus specialist will have figures at his fingertips. You can set up an Elise to suit yourself and your driving.
I don't know of anyone in the West Midlands area but I'm sure someone will come along. It might be worth aksing over on Seloc too.

Nice one Tipper, you might be right, I did ask the boss at the garage if I could put the Loti on the ramps, as I did want fat greasy John climbing in and out of it.I don't know of anyone in the West Midlands area but I'm sure someone will come along. It might be worth aksing over on Seloc too.
He was getting in customers cars without seat protection and oil all over his hands.
I'll give it a miss anyway.
Cheers.
I'd recommend this specialist in Wolverhampton - the 2 guys that run it are Lotus & TVR specialists & enthusiasts.
Martin was spectating at Loton Park hillclimb, when he saw we had probs in paddock came & spent 1/2hr fixing a TVR cooling system, that had never worked properly.

Take the time out to go over to Daventry and see Steve Guglielmi

I've had geo's at several 'specialists' in the West Midlands and nothing comes close to Steve and Dave at Guglielmi's.
The geo will cost you more but then the best always does!
