Default Best Setup

Hope someone can give me advice on this.

I'm looking for the best setup for MY98 UK Turbo. I have just fitted a set of Eibach Springs and need to get the geometry re-done.
I use the car for normal road use plus 2 or 3 track days a year.

Any suggestions for the best geometry setup would be much appreciated.


Cheers
Kieran

Contact Power Station in Cheltenham and they will advise/do it for you.
Many on the Snet are very happy with the result.
Good luck,

Thanks for getting back to me 911. The only problem is I'm based in Ireland (south) so not really an option. I've heard great reports about Powerstation alright.
If someone had an idea of the settings that would suit then I may be able to get it set up that way here.

Thanks again.

An alternative for you is to go to www.whiteline.com.au On their site you will find exactly what you want if you search a bit. You can be lazy and email their tech line direct and they will get you right to the info.
I did this with great results, twice!
Good luck,

Right -1.04

Toe Left +0.04
Right +0.04


Front Castor Left +3.11
Right +3.17

Toe Out in Turn Left -1.34
Right -1.34

Camber Left -1.15
Right -1.13

Toe Left +0.05
Right +0.05

Not too bad, but the camber at the rear should be more equalised than they are.

I would have thought they should all be equal on both sides, but there again I don't have a clue about this stuff.

Anyone else got any settings to compare.

Give TSL a call. They are super helpful and did a fantastic job on my 99 car a couple of weeks ago. They gave me the before/after print out, but I can't lay my hands on it at the mo'. The difference is incredible - probably the best £120 you'll ever spend on the car!

Based in Southern Ireland so not really an option I'm afraid. That why I'm looking for the infoprintouts here.

Cheers all the same

Give them a call and they will probably be able to recite optimum setup figures to you over the phone !!
