Opinions On Settings...

[ARTZ]

here is a printout of my last suspension check from pedders...pretty sure he just set everything for general usage..which is all it gets with the occasional track day

I dont really have any adjustable stuff other than toe..I have some adjustablke fornt castor bushges but never installed them...it Just has a set of bilstein shocks/springs , it sits fairly low at the front especially..

does everything else look ok or does it look seriously out of whack??

I mean there is a degree of camber missing at the front left and a few opther thigns slightly out but I assume not enough to make a difference..i

any thing I should look into..??

[Frosty]

was this just a check up or did you take it there to get adjustments?

the camer is a degree off yes and on the road wont make a major different to tyre wear etc but i would take it to have it properly aligned/set

Camber is 1 degree out, and its on the left front so you might notice the car pulling slightly to that side. You have a heap of caster (which is good).

Other then that there's no specified values for toe so who knows if its out or not, it will normally tell you the range for that specific car.

If its not scrubbing tyres or pulling I'd say leave the car as is, if you want it set up for track maybe get a proper alignment done at a recomended place, just be carefull where you go, you would be very surprised how many wheel alignment places dont know wtf they are doing.

[Frosty]

yeah there is that.....you dont altho you dont want the car pulling anymore to the left as the natural road camber will do that anyway...

[Risking]

Too much front camber for a road driven car. You'll get away with 1.5deg on the front and even out tire wear.

Front toe is okay

Rear camber is okay rear toe is neutral and probably toeing out dynamically when driving down the road.

Get the rear toed in 1mm each side and gain some straight line stability and predictability in the rear end

[ARTZ]

it was mostly just a check after a bingle to make sure it was all true but im pretty sure adjustments were made as well

.

the camber wear isnt a concern as It only does a few thousand kms a year.. happy to have it set for performance as long as its still comfortable to street

I think the front castor came from fitment of lower control arm bushes, I have adjustable castor rod bushes as well but not installed yet

rear toe is something I thought was usually set a degree or so inwards too so may get that done

It drives straight as an arrow so no concerns there either...Im just thinking just a set of sway bars and i will leave it as is...

Camber is 1 degree out, and its on the left front so you might notice the car pulling slightly to that side. You have a heap of caster (which is good).

However the caster split favour the LHS and caster has more effect on a left/right "pull" then camber thus Artz's car drives reasonably straight.

Chuck some bars on it old man

i forgot your a suspension guru Hank..

it seems to handle pretty well, i throw it into corners often when I think im going to fast and it always holds on..R comps tyres do help somwhat I guess..it only squirrels around when they get hot

[mattis96]

How much was it for the check? Do you just ask for a basic suspension setup check?

Would have just been a wheel alignment

Was Initially a suspension safety check...i then replaced front ball joints, tie rodz and lca bushes and with driftworks bushes.. Followed by a full alignment...

Seems settings are ok and it drives try so I won't worry...

Some extra toe at rear and swaybars should make it a little more stable..then i need a diff

What size sways work best on the r33?

[GTSBoy]

24mm adjustable on the front, plus a 22 or 24 adjustable on the rear. If you prefer a more oversteery behaviour (or more to the point, if you absolutely loathe understeer) then the bigger rear bar is the choice. If you set the front bar to max stiff and rear bar to min stiff, the balance is still OK. If you put a 22mm rear on, then you probably won't want to go to max stiff on the front.

BUT......all the above is somewhat dependent on what spring rates you have.

30km/h is not fast artz.

youve gone to the point of r compound tyres, why not some china crap adjustable arms?

Whiteline 27mm and 22mm (Front and rear respectively) bolt in and work well on the Dirty 3.
