NormanCoal 0 Posted September 27, 2004 I need to know the standard figures inc the +- for the camber and toe on the front end of a VR Corrado please Just fitted my Koni/eibach combo and desperately need to get it adjusted up. The ride is tremendously better (knackered rear shocks) but the handling is a bit skewy at the moment Ta Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted September 27, 2004 right going by the V.A.G 1813 wheel alignment figures that Star-Performance used on mine 2 1/2 years ago Front Camber.................left/right ...........-1o20' +/- 0o20' Toe........................left/right............+0o00' +/- 0o05' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe M 0 Posted September 28, 2004 A bit extra camber does wonders for the handling at the expense of tyre wear. Ive just had mine set to -1o50 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted September 28, 2004 A bit extra camber does wonders for the handling at the expense of tyre wear. Ive just had mine set to -1o50 Yeah - I have a little extra camber too :rambo: A degree or so will improve cornering & won't make any difference to tyre wear. :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 29, 2004 you really don't want to know what my cambers are set to! :? :oops: :lol: Lets just say she turns into corners well... ;) :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormanCoal 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Have you got it as far as the bolts will allow Henny? This tricks normally works well on a mk2 Golf, the diameter of the bolts is 1mm thicker, so you get about 1.5 neg, but with the plus axle 18mm bolts I look to have well over 2 degrees neg Fantastic turn in even if the tracking isnt quite right Getting it sorted on Friday afternoon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 29, 2004 How about adding some more neg camber at the rear by shimming the bottom two stub axle bolts? The track at the rear is 10mm narrower than the front, so there shouldn't be any 'skating' as a result..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NormanCoal 0 Posted September 29, 2004 That is one of the development idea I shall be trying out on my track orientated car once I get it up and running - been wanting to try that out for ages Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted September 29, 2004 The extra front camber might sort the "tramlining" if a 4-cylinder C running 17" wheels. Steve, how did you mange to reset it - the bolts don't allow fro a lot of adjustment on the 4-cylinder models? Kev, VW do shims to adjust both rear toe and camber - I have one on one side of the VR6... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Mike Edwards, Camber was set by Kevin Quigley Motor Services, here in Birmingham. Maybe I have thinner bolts than standard - I have approx 4-5 degrees of adjustment in either direction (brand new Sachs/Boge shockers). This is why I had way too much camber & my wheels were rubbing on the inner wheelarches, until I had the 4-wheel alignment done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe M 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Mike Edwards, any idea how much the shims change the alignement by? Ive a bit too much toe out at the back right and could probably do with some. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 29, 2004 Best to buy a selection of shims and try them. Quite a lengthy process..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted September 29, 2004 The garage I use had the correct one in stock for my car - just. They apparently come in a range of sizes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
