IRS fury suspension setup values

Postby mazie » Sat Jan 29, 2011 1:52 am

Hi all, I'm taking the fury to a local race car prep company to have it corner weighted and all checked and set.

What should camber caster and toe in all be set to?
It's mainly road and track day use.
If I've missed and details fill me in.

Thanks

Mines set at...
Front toe +1/2 degree
camber -1 1/2 degree
Rear toe 0
camber -1 degree

Can't remember the ride heights but the rear is about 20mm higher than the front. Corner weights are almost (+/- 0.5%) equal with me in and 1/2 tank fuel.

The camber settings are a compromise between road and track; less and it wears the tyres (more) on track, more and it gets twitchy when cruising.

Great stuff thanks, what about caster angle?
I've got the build manual Which states the settings but I wanted to know if people have found a better setup.

It depends on whether you have Escort uprights or Cortina alloy conversions. Escort uprights give their best high speed stability and slow cornering ability using 3.5 castor but Cortina geometry can take a lot more with some benefits , particularly on track . I know a very successful racer using 8 to 10 castor , quite common on old tintop retro race beasts.
