Just had new tyres put on my car; Falken 165/60 12's but the shop couldnt align everything as the wheels were too small.  I have been given the deatils of another local garage able to set it up, but I thought id try and go armed with what I want, and not leave it to them.

 

I have, like Ive said, 12" wheels with a 5mm spacer on the rear, running 165/60 12.  I have the moulton smootha ride kit, with hi lo's. I have fully adjustable front and rear camber/tracking etc.

 

What are the numbers for the best 'road' set up, including ride height?

 

Please and thank you

 

Ross

for fast road i would set 1/16" toe out front and 1/16" toe in rear

 

4 deg caster  and 1 deg neg camber front and 0 to 1/2 neg camber rear 

 

ride height 3/8" from front bump stops( mine are trimmed a touch ) and about 1/2" higher on back than front

 

that will make a big difference in feel of the car 

 

thats how mine is set but didnt bother with toe on rear

Thanks for that. Anything for just a normal road set up, not a 'fast' one. Cheers
