Trackday Geometry with standard suspension

Post by StreetDragster »

Hi All,

My friend is due to setup my cars geometry soon, and he tells me that his machine can customise the various angles that are adjustable if i require.

I have standard suspension, are there any settings worth having different from stock for trackday use?

Thanks

Hi Matt

You'll see a couple of pictures of geometry settings HERE

Mine is very similar to Bulldogs and it seems to work well on road/track. Looking for ~ -1.25-1.5 deg camber on front, ~-2.0-2.25 deg on rear. These are all within the Mazda spec range, just pushing towards the limits, rather than aiming "dead centre".
