As the title, going to be going for a slightly more tyre friendly geo set up in the next couple of days so I'd like to know what you guys are running and how it feels on the road as well as what your tyre wear is like.

I'd like to hear the same.

Can't comment on tyre wear yet but I have reduced the camber since my last geo which had some aggressive camber so this will be better...



Feels good as an all round car, settled on he motorway and lively enough on a B-road blast but always feels like I'm in control

JonMc, how did you achieve so much caster?

I've fitted a CDF racing ALK and free caster mod

Anti lift kit, 'free' caster mod, top mounts, Spec C control arms and/or machine your control arms are your options

6 degrees is good

What sort of driving does the car see? ie all motorway?
What other chassis mods have you done?

Mostly twisty country roads.

I've only changed to super pro bushes on front roll bar, steering rack and rear roll bar along with rear alloy drop links and camber bolts all round.

I'm not a fan of coilovers etc as where I drive is bumpy as hell, roads are slippery too, I'm tight so don't want to spend more on parts just want some settings that will be ok for fast road and not kill my new tyres, fresh set of winter tyres on sti 17' rims.

Running 3.5 caster up front, 0 caster at rear, 0 toe front and back with -1.83 negative camber on both fronts and -2.0 negative on both rears. Was primarily to help tuck my 8.75" XXRs. Tyre wear looking good so far. Dry grip, cornering and feel on road is improved over the standard setup. Useless in the wet. 4 wheel drifts everywhere with my Yokohama parade spec 2 tyres.

Tyre noise significantly increased too.

Simon at chevron motorsport is the man to talk to.
I have his spec c machined arms along with 22mm bars and bc coilovers.
I'm not sure on my geo settings but turn in is brilliant and corner speed is nothing short of amazing.
In fact I'm starting to wonder if it will ever break loose.
My front wheels now sit about 2 inches further forward !
Simon does a lot of testing for whiteline so he knows his stuff.

I have a tad under 6degs of castor - which gives me camber exactly when needed, during turn in. Awesome for tyre wear (I run basic fast road camber) - I get little to no edge wear.

-1.2 deg front camber
-1.4 deg rear camber

Car is very stable in a straight line and has sharp turn in.

This. Mine will be going into chevron in the near future for the front arm mod and setup.
