Fast road setup?

[waitey]

Since on every other forum they know about fast road setups and where to go for one, it might be a good idea if we list everywhere that can do this.

I myself will be getting one after Christmas but I don't know where will supply and fit camber shims as my rear alignment is all over the place it sort of ruins the car.

So who knows where I can go for this so I can contact them for a price and details of the setup.

without add on parts, theres only toe angle that can be easily adjusted. Moving the front subframe assembly would allow some adjustment (equalisation) of front camber and probably a change in castor angles. However, most places won't touch the subframe.

Rear can be shimmed for camber and toe angles.
Front camber adjustment bolts or camber/castor strut tops give more options

Adjustable top mounts, camber bolts and shims waitey Fit them yourself lol

Top mounts I can do, but not shims and bolts.

In the future I would look into adjustable top mounts as the OE ones seem abit flimsy when I put springs on lol

I put new oem ones on when i fitted my coilies and they are ok, i will invest in adjustable camber ones soom though, this car is getting tracked eventually

Some coilovers allow some small camber adjustment without buying the camber bolts.

The Weitec's I have (which are for a Twingo RS) allow for some negative camber.

I think for now ill look for a place to setup and fit front camber bolts and rear shims.

I would like coilovers and solid top mounts, but ill have to save up for them for now.

Yeah the Ap's I have do that too but it's barely enough to notice.

if thats the case, save up and then get it set up once the bits are on... Otherwise it would need doing again anyway.

Its coming up to winter anyway, so lots of negative camber can make for a slow road setup intsead of fast road as you can't get enough grip to make the tyre lean onto the whole contact patch.

I think in the extremities some seem to want it, it would be more for show than an actual fast road set up?

My route to work is mainly B roads and I do plan to do a few track days once I have sorted the alignment out anyway.

I think dem Twingo GT boys wants to show them RS boys that they can take corner like a baoss!

Already do coilies are stiff as hell on mine, no helper springs on the front and no adjusters on the rear haha

 

[maggi200]

I think sometimes stiff set ups are confused with fast set ups though...? Great on track but would make you back off on any UK road

It gives good feedback through the steering lol, but country lanes are twitchy.

 

[MovingShadow]

That makes it fun though and keeps you on your toes!

I'm jealous on the country side roads you guys have. I love driving on them!

They're all flooded and ****** at the moment around where I live lol, you're not missing much!

Wouldn't be getting coilies for a while anyway but the rear alignment is out and it's eating tyres and not handling 100% so needs doing lol.

So if anyone knows who can do this around the midlands let me know please

for anyone in Scotland, ProGrip in Larbert are awesome and extremely cheap for the setup you are getting, he done loads of work and diagnostics on my handling problems when Arnold Clark Stirling handed me back a dangerous car with an incorrectly fitted subframe.

he will supply, fit and setup camber bolts/shims etc

+1 for progrip. John's a top bloke. Its well worth the dosh.
