Think we need to re do the flat floor set up on our 1.8SV. Is there a reference sheet on all the standard suspension settings? Car's almost always two up so not so bothered with corner weighting.

Thanks

Scott.

Road settings ?

About 12 - 15 mm rake
1.5 deg rear camber
1.5 - 2 deg front camber
Don't worry too much about the castor as long as they match
about 5 minute toe in front and rear
ARBs to taste

Lower wishbone set level. (or about 70mm below sump) Measure height (as above) just behind wishbone, and just in front of rear arches.

Thanks guys - got some "oficial settings from caterham" to be honest, love the car as it is, but far tooo sharp for customers. Suppose that's the great joys of the cars smile

Hi Scott - hope things are going well.

As you may have heard, I got the car back from Paul earlier this week - at last, but not due to anything Paul related, as he's been a star.

Who did you speak to at Caterham for the suspension settings, as I would like to check mine over before we start giving it what for - more for a track setup rather than road - a happy medium I guess.

Cheers, Mark
