My mate works for cheshire performance who rally an evo and impreza, he borrowed a laser alignment set up that they take rallying to do his civic type r at home in a big garage, i happened to phone him while he was half way through and convinced him to do my impreza at the same time. We used prodrive settings obtained from this website, and in the dry the car is great-grips like hell! But in the wet it now spits its tail out for fun, and i cant go fast in the wet cos it feels nervous! any ideas please lads?

 

Lol sounds like mine, good job im a hero behind the wheel. lol

 

Nice Brembos, im not jealous HONEST!

 

tuition ?

 

Wet/Dry setup will always be a compromise.
Just a thought have you got cheap tyres on? Because they are usually good in the dry but bad in the wet, just a thought.

I have, it lowers the limits massively in the wet, 3rd gear drifts are fun though lol

 

205/50/16 dunlop sp sport 9000, all are within 1 ml of each other, but now im getting a bit more confident in it, cant decide if its fun or not, sometimes its ******* scary, sometimes its a laugh! there is a bypass that runs through the middle of my town, in the dry i can volley it all the way down, in the wet it fishtails in 1st, 2nd and 3rd!! people behind must think wtf!!!!!

 

What are the Prodrive geometry settings out of interest? I had a scan through the archive and couldnt really find anything definitive.

 

WE used: front camber "max equal negative" (the rear is not adjustable), with 1mm toe on front and rear!
My car is lowered 45mm.
These settings were obtained from sidc website, not this one (my mistake)

 

what does "max equal negative" mean?

 

Means the max neg camber you can get on the std adjusters

 

so what was that?

 

lost the set up data print out sorry

 

Pretty sure toe remains the same front and rear and you just dont run as much neg cam. I'll have a look at one of the machines at work tomoz if i remember

 

set my geometry to 'prodrive' last sat, the car is much better all round wet and dry, tho the back does like to kick out a bit on wet rounderbouts

 

James get the rear ARB on and she'll do it in the dry on demand....

Dunx

 

thats next mate!
