I have yet to get my rb5 handling how I want it (like back end coming round if i go fastish) admittedly i have just put new p zeros on back and know they'll need a little while to settle in.
current geometry settings are -0.07 toe front -0.04 toe rear. camber front -1.10 rear -1.29.
I have a fantastic 40mile drive to work on back roads, but cant enjoy it as my rb5 feels if i push its gonna spin (even more so with nu tyres) I had suspension checked out ok. does anyone else experience this? I'm getting it 4 wheel aligned at weekend to prodrive settings should this cure the problem?
any info will be much appreciated, I want to start enjoying my scooby

I had the Prodrive suspension settings put on my Scooby and have never looked back. The car is so muck more stable in all types of corners and the back end comes out on demand.

I have same car - but quite modded. Best thing to do is:

get rid of the pirellis and go to SO2's.
get the bumpsteer done and settings at Powerstation.

I also found when trying the prodrive settings that a compromise, i.e. .8 neg camber worked best. Hope this helps

Hi Steve, what tyre pressures do you run? I use 34 psi front and 32 rear with Prodrive geometry settings. I find this gives a nice level of lift-off oversteer to counteract the 'natural' understeer. I did find the understeer a real pain at times but now drive 'around' it. I am currently on Toyo Proxes and seriously thinking about the bump-steer removal mod.

where do I get so2's and how much a corner? how many miles you get on a set?
cheers - steve
