Hi All

cheers Dan..

i'll be getting mine on soon with ally bones and hubs so will keep an eye on recommendations

Just get them set to maximum. Should be about -1'45

i'm worried about traction too  you think thats too much Rich? i struggle as it is with my heavy ass

[rich83]

You lose a bit of traction yes, especially when steering from a standstill (turning out of junctions is noticeable if you are heavy footed) but more gives you tons of front end grip.

[DANBOY66]

maximum setting it is then 

-1'45

looking forward to having a bit more front end grip in the bends

rich you have said it will lose grip when steering from standstill  but what about straight line launch like at santa pod ?

[rich83]

If you are interested in launching the car from a standstill... you want as little camber as possible.

The increase of camber decreases straight line grip, theres no way of getting around that.

Hybrid turbo you say???? Grip you say???

decisions 

i have definitely improved grip by putting Michelin pilot super sports on

Without doubt

i think i need to get the other bits done and get quattro sorted
