Camber |Settings

I know this very much driver related preference into setting up the car for the drivers driving style, but for those who have had the camber and toe adjusted, what was the settings you found best ?

Yes it can if you machine the uprights and shim to suit as I am.
I pretty much know what I expect to set it to but any help is greatly appreciated.

Remember by simply lowering the ride height will increase negative camber!

Standard Specs M12 & M400

Front Camber -1 +or- 3/4
Rear camber -1.5 +or- 1

There are quite a few post on www.nobleforum.com on Caster/Camber adjustments

Have a chat with Plans Motorsport, they setthe camber and toe etc,on my car up to the way I explained I wanted to drive the car and they got it spot on IMO.
Obviously you may/will have different driving characteristics to others so have a chat..What have you got to lose?

Hi Steve, 2 1/4 degees front and 2 1/2 rear, spent ages on track sorting this one out with a pirometer, this setting suits Corsa's, don't know about other tyres. This setting uses the whole width of the tyre and makes the car consistant on and over the limit without tramlining on the road.

Whatever you do I wouldnt lower the car, other than check the ridehights and corner weighting, the Noble is very sensitive to ride hight adjustments and could screw up the rollcentres.

Adrian, would this be the same for the 2.5 (the susspension is different but would this matter?).

That is true on a Macpherson strut car but not always true on a double wishbone car is it?

Depends on equal or non-equal length wishbones.(equal length remaining constant).

Thanks for the above its a bit more than I was expecting ! Does that setting make the front break away slightly (understeer) before the rear (if power isnt used to unsettle the rear ) through a bend as at the mo mine always wants to let go at the rear first although my rear camber is neutral which is not helping !
