[Sam]

this would save you some weight no doubt, no issues with it for you as you have your bonnet pins

Got the suspension set-up properly at Center Gravity in Atherstone..........Difference is amazing. http://www.almeraownersclub.net/showthread.php?p=351859&posted=1#post351859

It honestly feels like a different car, more confidence inspiring. Really is `tail happy` now. Bring on some more track days!

Camber was set to 2.5* neg front.

Slight toe-out on front. ( as you accelerate wheels go to staright ahead, ease off and they open up again for better cornering )

Castor was fine at OE setting.

Rear beam bent to remove to almost all toe-in.

1.5* neg camber on rear.

Ride height set for slight dip to front ( 0.9 *).

Corner weights were measured and left because its a perfects set-up for a clockwise circuit!

Overall vehicle weight was 995.4kg with half tank of fuel ( 20kgs ). Previous 1000kg was with empty tank.

Definatly sounds like a job well done with the setup, at least now we have a place in the uk that can do the beam bend and set up the car properly, top job!

 

[stufagti]

cool rowdy, has it been lowered or did they adjust the spring rates and damping, along with the castor/camber/toe

any prices ?

 

[edk]

fyi preload doesnt adjust the spring rates stu.

 

[rowdy-GTi]

it was lowered a tad a front to give some dip. This improves turn-in and brake responce ( no dive ).

The best gets better.

 

[Raceworx]

Ian I've decided your car's name is 'The Shrew'. Lightweight, quick and a bastard to catch.
Also it matches the reg plate
