S1 Geo Settings

Getting a full geo done tomorrow.

Just wondering what settings folks are running as a comparison.

I'm running the "340R Dry Road" settings and reccomend it.
I have Nitrons but the settings should be valid for your LSS.

I've got Avos on. What're the 340R settings?

I run standard S1 geo on mine with no issues.

If you want to go a bit more aggressive, you could have the S160 setup done which, I believe, gives sharper turn-in. TBH unless you're a driving god or experiencing handling problems the standard should be fine as long as it's done correctly.

I feel I could do with a slightly sharper turn in but also more progressive breakaway at the front. At the rear I could do with a more progressive breakaway in the wet. I think a wee bit more from neg camber would be a help on the front and maybe a touch more toe in on both end?

I suppose a lot of this will come down to playing about with damper settings as well.

If it hasn't been done recently I'd get the standard on there as a baseline and see what you think.

As for breakaway at the rear, you're never going to get an Elise to go nice and gently in the wet.

Give Plans a call if you want to discuss set-ups. Graham & the team there are excellent. They set up and race, racing cars so have years of knowledge. I left my geo (just completed) entirely to them and the car feels great since. It was a little too agressive with a bias to oversteer which they dialled out, it's now super progressive.

Felt brilliantly balanced around Brands 2 weeks ago.

I'll 2nd Plans - top guys, know their stuff and don't mind the fact that I don't know my arse from my elbow!

The settings I use (have been playing with settings for years). Most people that run these are very happy with the car. Turn in is improved and the back is very stable even in the wet.

Front

Toe -0'15" Toe OUT Total (minutes)
Camber -1.0° ±0.2°
Castor +3.8° ±0.2°

Rear

Toe +0'18" toe IN per side (minutes)
Camber -2.0° ±0.2°

does toe out on the front not make the car unstable?

(I found the settings for the 135R and it runs 030" toe in front and rear)

Toe out on the front will aid turn in. Every race car I have worked on has allways had toe in at the rear and toe out at the front. If anything stability can be improved. To much front camber can cause the car to be unstable.
