Hill climb and sprint camber and toe

[gb270_calum]

Putting my clio to get the geometry set up before my first race in a few weeks time.

Car is lowered, camber bolts and running 15's alloys.

What should I be getting my camber and toe set too for a good set up?

Any advice would be great

Depends on tyres, dampers, springs, tyre pressure and 50 odd other things

but for reference with cup dampers, cooksports and a rear anti roll bar and good road tyres
Front
-2.5 camber
15 minutes toe out
castor isn't adjustable without fancy top mounts, but as much as possible, 4 degrees ish normally

Rear
-2 camber
10 minutes toe in

this will give a fairly neutral handling car that can be controlled on the throttle

Same as bash said but I ran 10min toe out on the rear which makes it tail happy so try the above and see how you go.

Where will you be racing ?

Thanks guys for the advice, new to all this so will see how the car feels after it, getting it done tomorrow on a hunter.

@bashracing what topmounts are you using for -2.5 on the front? or is that a combination of strut camber bolt and top mount?
And how do you control toe on the rear? just by shimming?

Just camber bolts matey, I managed to get it as high as -3 degrees,
beyond that I had AST top mounts but didn't use them in anger due to it being a grey area in the regs
