Front camber settings

Can anyone recommend a good track setup for front camber settings on my S2 running Ohlins at 120mm ride height.

Standard geo is -0.3 deg although I need to actually verify the current setttings. The new A048s that I used for Angelsey show significant increased tyre wear on the outside edge. Being a sad git I measured the wear to an equivalent angle of 0.53 deg on the LH front and 0.38 deg on the RH front (this does make sense on a clockwise track). I’m sure that won’t translate into a true camber correction.

There’s two shims in each top side at the minute so according to the manual that’s an additional -0.6 deg worth of camber I can gain by removing them. Does the resulting -0.9 deg sound about right?

I don’t really want to go for a totally agressive angle as my previous experience on the Puma resulted in awful straight line braking performance and lock up due to insufficient contact patch.

Any top secret settings would be much appreciated :smiley:

I’ve all the shims removed Wes, 125mm ride height with Ohlins…it’s not that aggressive for road and on track turn in is bloody great. No issue with braking whatsoever. My ARB is always set fully hard, I only adjust the bump and rebound.

Do you get any mid corner understeer with this dude? :confused:

removed all my shims as well, running 105mm ride height tyre wear seems pretty good and with my driving ability it seems fine, can’t remember the exact amount of negative camber but it was very close to a degree.

I�m no expert but I�m no fan of under steer which I�m pretty very sure I�m not getting. My car turns in really well but again not sure if having 8mm extra off set with the TE37�s compensates at the rear or if saving so much weight back there helps further. JP at Brands said it was incredibly neutral.

The Geo I have here on paper is an old one Wes, wouldn�t be of any help to post mate. JSR has my info I guess.

Ok, thanks Doc :slight_smile:

I’ll take both shims out and reset the toe which will be affected. I’m going to try a manual wheel alignment using some high tech aparatus that I procured - sea fishing line and two shower curtain rails :astonished: Should be able to check it to within a mm.

:smiley: good luck

Removing shims “should not” mean toe needs reseting according to Lotus, but who would trust them :wink:
