I have just completed my home made camber and toe gauges, as per Howlers thread in running gear. Now I'm looking to refine the suspension settings.

Car is a bike engined MK Indy and it's post SVA so no massive toe out!

Before I start trial and error with my suspension settings has anyone got a base line to work from?

At the moment I have the suspension set up all square, no toe and all wheels vertical.

Should I do the corner weights first, then the angles?

I was going to try 1 degree toe in on the front first, followed by 1 degree of camber all round?

Cheers Mike

without wanting to hijaack the thread i would also be interested in Indy suspension settings. I am hoping to get it professionally set up but as my first sprint is at teeside autodrome this sunday i think i will have to have a go myself.
I need to set the car up mainly for track and hillclimb.
tyre pressures set at 16psi all round.
protech shocks setting???
front camber and toe in?
rear camber and toe in?
all help greatfully received

Try these as a start point:-

Ride height, set the front so bottom arms are level, then set the rear 10mm higher than the front of the rear wheel.

Front 1-1.5 degrees negative camber.
1 degree toe out.

Rear 0.5-1 degree negative camber and 1 degree toe out.

As I say only a starting point but it should be close. From toe out on front and rears try bringing them closer to zero and see if it feels better.

Ride height meant to read that the rear should be set 10mm higher than the front when measured just in front of the rear wheel.

These are my initial settings (TypeZR - not Indy).

Tyre pressures 18 psi, front shoxs 7 clicks, rear shoks 3 clicks,
Ride height, fr shox 15 threads showing, rr 8 threads showing
toe in -1.5°, caster maximum on mushroom, camber 0° to - 1°

This gave me good handling on a soaking wet Teesside Autodrome last week.
