Suspension Set Up On A Gtr

[Turbz_13]

how r ya guys,

now i was just going to replace all bushes in my car, but i have since gotten a taste for going fast around twisties like a hill climb and track.

i know i need to change the front upper control arm to adjust the camber at the front, but what about the rear, is it both lower and upper arms needing replacing?

i dont was harsh camber that is goin to scrub out the tyres on the inside badly anymore!

also what is a good ride height and angle of camber to set the car up 2 for this kinda driving??

can anyone recommend some products(ie cusco control arms)

cheers

Do a search for suspension threads containing comments by 'SydneyKid' - then look for his suspension packages.

can no 1 help me with this?

can sum1 tell me where i can find this info

The front and rear have completely different issues.

On the front you chuck as much -ve camber on it as you can find/stomach.

On the rear, when you lower the car you end up with too much -ve camber. The kits Gary sells (& others) move the pivot points of the upper rear link outwards which fixes the excessive -ve camber.

Good ride heights are 355 front, 345 rear.

The Whiteline/Red ranger/Noltec gear is all good. Don't buy adjustable upper arms if you can help it.

You can find all this and more in the suspension section.

^^ Just wondering why u said dont buy adjustable upper arms?

whats wrong with them?

[Mr. Keets]

^5 There are lots threads on this subject.

^ Why not buy adjustable upper arms....search for "camber arms" in this sub forum. I'm not being a smart arse; there is so much info on this subject that you really need to read alot of threads to hear the arguments and assimilate the info. By the way the upper arm issue is different for 32's versus 33 and 34's...GL

ok so leave the front as it is,

im still not getting it to do with the rear, what do i need to change to make the rear camber as close to "0" as possible, specially after the car has been lowered.

i was told not to use the camber adjusting bushes...

[Duncan]

by whom and why?

[Turbz_13]

a guy who use to work at where i get me car worked on(notice i say "use to")

he said the reason not to use was apparently they have more of a chance of slipping and throwing the setup out of whack. now im just quoting what he told me

whats the problem with using/replacing the arms??

Like us, Duncan uses eccentric crush tubes/bushes in his race cars (and road cars) and hasn't ever had a problem. They require rotation to adjust, so how anyone could say they slip is beyond me.
