Had a drive of a Sagaris recently and mighty impressed with the ride and handling. Sure I've read that the suspension, or pick up points at least, of the T2 were the same or very similar. Point being that the Sagaris I drove was put up on a ramp to demonstrate why my T1 couldn't be set up the same
, seems that all round the pick ups are lowered and widened roughly an inch in each direction making the geometry comparison between the T1 & T2 different.

The factory approved settings for a Saggy only vary by 5 minutes difference on the rear camber from a Tuscan., seems that all round the pick ups are lowered and widened roughly an inch in each direction making the geometry comparison between the T1 & T2 different. That ain't going to make much difference.
This from the March 2005 Update from the factory.

I guess you're refering to the T2 as well there?That ain't going to make much difference.

There are many manys settings floating around but it is dependant on what you want to do with the car and how you drive it, some people want a really sharp turn in and others prefer a less aggresive set-up.
The settings posted earlier on the thread are the original settings going back to the early Griffs and I would suggest they are a nice crisp set up for the front but not enough for the rear on the Tuscans or Saggys, I would get the rear camber up by nearly double that for high speed stability and double the rear toe as well for increased traction.
At the end of the day you can get the car set-up anywhere but I warn you that the rear toe adjusters can be a pain in the A**E and a lot of 4 wheel alignment shops can't be bothered to fiddle about, it may be advisable to go to a TVR aware alignment shop in the long run.
The likes of Jools,Topcats,Guglielmi are all very good and will set up the car to suit your needs, maybe worth a run out.
