honest opinion on fast road set up

[phil r]

just had a fast road set up done on my teg with spc camber bolts , camber arms using the eibach pro springs after reading a lot of different settings, here is my honest opinion for those new people on this forum & others who are thinking about getting it done .
1st of all I still have a little torque steer but I'm going to try to drop tyre pressure on front as it is a little high.
The ride is so much better & seems to absorb the bumpy roads so there forgiving thus giving you more confidance , & just feels a lot more planted.
I can't feel any differance in straight line speed as been mentioned before & no wobble on the steering wheel in a straight line which has also been mentioned , but into a corner its a different animal alltogether so much more grip , still early days yet but the rear doesn't feel twitchy at all , the stance now is what it should have came out of the factory in my opinion & not to low so yo can get away with crappy roads speed bumps

Cool, glad you are enjoying
I have just had mine done as well, and am looking for any opportunity to throw it into a corner. Unfortunately my route to and from work is very straight, so my chances are limited on a day to day basis

It definately feels more planted and I am finding just more stable in general.

Ye really pleased even more so now , just dropped tyre pressure on fronts slightly the torque steer is a lot better shows how a little of fine tunning can make a differance , bought all my springs etc second hand & my local machanic has all the alingment gear gave him the settings & jobs a goodun cost me £354 all in xthumbup

What tyre pressures have you ended up with- I went testing a while ago and ended up with the bizarre set-up of 30/25. Was on standard springs and dampers and basically a 'fast road' set-up, but with standard rear camber - since changed to 2.2 neg..

I was going to but after speeking to kev who did it for me I didnt relise he had set up track cars etc himself including julians teg from rare rims so I thought Iwould give him a chance , still would go to tgm for other major work or modifying though I have sent you a pm on settings , prices etc :wink:
