Before MM12 i was getting my geometry updated, the machine only read (not only but he didn't have time to go messing with it) toe measurements in mm. Anyway i was going for the UK settings but couldn't adjust to the 20 minutes as per the bulletin. So front was set to 0mm and rear was set to 2mm each side for a total of 4mm rear toe in. Anyway after some searching/converting it seems that the rear toe should be 3.63mm each side to agree with the TSB, am i right in saying that for next time i go back?

 

Is that toe out or in? The problem with OEM toe and camber arms on the rear, is that you are limited to give more negative camber with toe becuase you run out of toe adjustment. And you start adding more negative camber and getting more toe in at the same time.
The problem is easily solved with adjustable toe arms.

However, it doesn´t seem to be your case

 

2mm each side sounds good to me, about 0.07 Degree,>given tolerance of 0.02-0.12 Degree UK spec
More important how does it feel..

 

No just Spoon springs so not much difference from stock tbh.

It felt weird at the start but i also had new tyres and it got better after the tyres scrubbed in. I guess ill see after i do a trackday lol.

 

What MY is your car? There are different settings for pre and post-facelift. Both listed in the FAQ.

 

2001 mate, prefacelift. FAQ only shows it degrees/mintues, not in mm.

 

This is a useful chart: http://www.trackace.co.uk/manual/conversion%20chart.pdf

25' of toe each side equates to 3mm , so your 2mm (or 17') each side is below the minimum recommended.


Essentially, your 3.63mm calculation each side is correct.

I think noodels was looking at the 17" wheel/post facelift specs, hence my question.

 

 

I have mine set at 2mm rear and zero front and it drives well.

 

Cheers lads, ill use it for now as i need to do my compliance bushes so ill get it redone then.
