Ive also got adjustable front control arms, rear control arms and trailing arms and a roll centre kit now. Anyone have any ideas on a geometry set up to start with?

Thanks

A poly bushed chassis, roll centre kit and more chassis braces will help with flatter cornering

I started out with Prodrive suspension settings. Unforunately I do not have the figures here.

I would put a stiffer ARB on the back than the front
I would then get get a basic 4 wheel alignment on.
And then put in 2degrees negative camber on the fronts.
(If you run more it can make it bad to drive on the road)

The ARB and the negative camber will help with the understeer.

Run a set 595RSRs and play around with the tyre pressures - this makes a big difference.

With the BCs just wack them up to stiffest all round and then see if taking them a few few clicks down here and there makes any difference

The way to do basic suspension set up is to go out. Try and work out what can be improved and then change one thing and one thing only to see if it makes a difference or not. If you change more than one thing you will not know what has made the improvement to it on the limits.

Hope this helps
Steve
