More negative camber on the rear than the front will certainly give you a solid rear.. But do you not feel that you have a lot of high speed understeer?
Also they have toe out on the rear? Or am I reading the graph incorrectly?

does your rear weight bias effect your fwd handling :grin:
does the carbon chair weigh what they say it does?
Great info and lots of detail, are all the available settings adjustable on the std car ?
In terms of the measurements , whats different from recommended specs?
doesnt seem to have changed much from intial to final? I can see toe out on turn has a big diff.

Its a Kuschall R33 (yes really 'R33') custom made in Switzerland, Carbon fibre and Titainium with Mono shock under seat and is about 10kg without the cushion, it understeers, wheelspins in the snow, eats tyres and I try to avoid pot holes, all in all, much like my car.
The Beissbath kit works within VAG target data and all the adjustment (apart from H&R anti roll bar) are on the std car, some just a fraction of a degree.
Chris did made a note of this and said the rear ARB link would perform much better at a more vertical angle.

I've gotta say jonny I went in without any knowledge of geometry and I really did need him to give me 'the idiots guide'. The main thing for me was predictable handling, particularly as one hand is on the hand controls all the time and this is what he'll take into consideration.
I'm not sure if the +0.22 or the +0.00 is the rear toe out reading?
Looking forward to a warm track day, keep you posted. :happy2:
