i have the OEM Honda settings but does anybody have access to "track" specific alignement settings i.e. Whiteline settings?

Thanks in advance
 
Knockhill circuit in Scotland.

Dont worry i got it sorted...

Many thanks to Webartie! :D
 
I was running the following settings at KH Duns and the car seemed very good, sounds like a lot of camber up front but was feeling the tyres once in the pits and good distribution of heat across them :)

-2.5 deg camber front
-1 deg camber rear

0.5mm toe out each side front
3mm toe out each side rear

+1.5 extra castor front
 
Thats so close to what webartie suggested man.

although he suggested if its not only for track but for road/track then to use a 0 Toe front and rear.

0.5 degree toe (front) 0 degree (rear) is good for road use..

yeah 0 toe will give you better tyre wear, i run those settings all the time though, haha

SPC sells multiple front camber kits with caster adjustment.
 
ok.... i know what type one do ha ha!!!

eg's are so much easier!!!
 
Yeah SPC upper arms

Whiteline kit is perfect for the EG though

Toe out on the back is to improve turn in, still feels very stable with the toe out, although i do have the height of the car very level to get more weight over the back wheels as it felt a bit pitched with the back end higher
 
i understand the results from it, but is 3mm not excessive though, i only run 1mm on my time attack car!!

is it not eating the leading edge of the tyre tho??

I can't see that being a huge problem on the rear? But if it were 3mm toe out on front then you would eat tyres monthly.

...?

well the same tyre wear principle applies but less so on the rear due to steering.. BUT STILL it is excessive for a road car.

Take 3mm toe on the rear wheel and equate that to the length of your wheelbase... even over that length you can see its excessive. +1mm MAX IMO on the road.

Aswell if 3mm toe out on the rear doesn't seem skittish or light Id go back and check my front toe angles.. could be cancelling eachother out... affecting tyre wear for no reason.
