Mk2 Coilover Set Up

Discussion in 'Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres section' started by papps, Jul 7, 2015.

  1. Managed to get a last min slot tomorrow to get my coilovers set up.....

    The garage need a spec sheet from someone else who has BC's on their Mk2 - camber, castor, toe, front and back .....can anyone help me out with this?

    Cheers,

  2. Mines currently set at

    Ride hieght depends where measure mine was on lowest part of subframe and rear beam mount
    front 115mm
    rear 160mm

    castor wasnt adjustible so wasn't measured

    camber

    FR=-2.5 maxed out top mount
    FL=-2.5 maxed out again..
    RR=-1.5 non adjustible on 225 so it's as it comes
    RL=-1 same as above think my beams taken a hit of some kind

    tracking

    Front = 0 degrees (depends what u want to use it for) little tow out turns in very well but with a very light rear be careful
    Rear = -0.5 degrees just measurement as non adjustible

    weights

    with driver (big lump) need some work done here for equal corners
    FL =390kg
    FR =469 kg
    RL =236kg
    RR =217kg
    front = 860 65.5%
    rear = 453 34.5%

    hope this helps

  3. Thanks a lot Josh - thats a MASSIVE help mate, thanks for taking the time to put this together, really appreciate it.

    Tracking: Mainly spirited road useage, hopefully get 3 or 4 track sessions in before winter and then hopefully 5 or 6 a year next year: I don't like a light rear end really, should will 0 degrees do the job you reckon? :smile:
     
  4. 0 is good.. get the camber to as much as it can for the track use...some people have had -3 out of the bc's but mine didn't gonna look at getting some more out of them soon..
     
  5. Spin the top mount around and you'll get dome more
     
  6. Didn't think of that as there's the hole that lines up with the old locating pin.. I'll try it and get the old pumbob camber gauge out and see the difference
