I'm defiantly tempted to try and get the geo reduced first to see how it is. No intention of tracking it, just clocking up the weekly miles. Maybe once the Reds poke off for the summer I'll have a blast down the runway.carl hammond said:I would expect this to happen, and in colder weather also due to the tyres not getting heat into them as you'd want, camber and toe settings both play a big part in a vehicle stability and the propensity for tramlining. Extreme positive or negative camber will make the car more sensitive, especially when only one wheel encounters a longitudinal rut and/or groove at a time. Even if all the tires are aimed straight ahead when the vehicle is in motion a tire that is cambered wants to turn. This is the result of camber thrust.
Any car using lots of negative camber for competition or the track will experience more tramlining on the road so although some have said your setup isn't aggressive that's not the case. It differs from car to car, setup to setup, road and surface to road and surface and so on. There are too many variables for anyone to just say do X, Y and Z and it will be fine. For them maybe but for you or I maybe not.
Also if you have any toe-out settings this will add even more tramlining because the extra toe-out will reduce vehicle stability in a straight line.
Mines setup specifically for me (literally me, corner weighted, optimised to the max for my driving style and needs on track). I never really see anyone else going to that extreme, they only have an aggressive geo (FRSU as they call it) but for me that wasn't enough, going to the extreme is the only way to be sure it's setup perfectly. All corners on mine are diff heights slightly etc so under load the car will be flat and level and produce maximum grip, I also have mine set to allow me nice amounts of lift off oversteer which I enjoy
I am not sure how a video can be loaded here tbh mate, maybe a link to it on youtube, but like you say things always feel and are worse in person than can be seen on a video lol.
One thing I have always said on my car is that it's very diff to pretty much all cars I have owned and that includes my DC2, I had 0 confidence in the 5 for the first 6-8 months but as soon as I got to Brands again in it everything felt right.
You will get there mate it's just finding the perfect setup for your driving style and needs and car's uses and if this means sticking with what you have cool, else release some money from parts and go another route.
Are you planning on using it on track much or at all ?
