Hi guys have asked before but no replies so second time lucky, i have just put fully adjustable geometry setup on my mini, what im after is the best angles and tracking settings for fast road and occasion track use. i can't remember but i think i heard 0.5-1 degree negative on the rear and 1 degree negative on the front, is this right? also what should the tracking be at both front and rear. finally the caster angles for the front i have 3 degree's in my head, not sure? taking it end of the week so any feedback would be much appriciated.
cheers guys

With 10" or 12" wheels the following seems to work best:

At standard ride height:

Front:
Camber 1 deg to 1.5 deg negative
2.75 to 3 degrees caster
Zero to 1.5 mm toe out

Rear:
Zero to -0.5 deg negative
1mm to 2mm toe in (absolutely no toe out on the rear!)

For 13" wheels with those very wide tyres the front camber should be no more than 0.5 deg negative

Thanks mate, they are 10" forgot to add, the car has been lowered quite abit, I'm thinking then: -1 neg on the front with 1/8 toe out, 3 deg castor and -0.5 neg on rear with 1/8 toe in? what do you think? does getting the car setup really make that much difference in the drive?
