TT lower arms and geometry changes
the bruce:
I have to add from the view of aesthetics I prefer the side skirts being horizontal.
Sadly if you adjust the suspension due to this the travel will be critical at rear
:sad1:.
This depends on the stiffness of your suspension (springs, ARBs, dampers) of course.
Carrera2RS:
I couldn't agree more, very happy with the look at 338/324
the bruce:
I currently have 337 front and 330 rear. I had 337 front and 320 rear before.
Even with 320 rear my ''side skirt line'' wasn't level.
fuscobal:
Got to change my steering rack and things got much better no. I've also measured the ride heights to be 343F and 345R. Dropped the rear to 337 and set the suspension to 8F and 7R in order to dial out some of the oversteering I was talking about ! Will also try 2.1bar on front and 2.0bar on rear as opposed to 2.3F and 2.3R wich wore my Kumhos more on the center !
Carrera2RS:
I am now running 4-5mm front and rear. Measuring 342-343, 329-330
I did this and changed tyres for new Pirelli Zeros (The same as before) again set at 35F, 33.5R when warm (33, 32 cold) The suspension was reset...... due to changing the bottom mount, only the tracking front and rear changed, now measures :
Front
Camber : -2 deg 4 mins, R -2 deg 10 mins
Castor L 8 deg 20 mins, R 8 deg 8 mins
L -0.2mm, R- 0.2mm (out)
Rear
Camber L -1 deg 36 mins, R -1 deg 29 mins
toe L 1.0mm, R 1.0mm (in)
At present it is good, but not quite as good in terms of balance and grip. I am putting a few miles on new tyres before concluding
