Track Suspension

[tofurun]

Shop is asking me for specs for when they do my suspension. I want a track only set up the car is not my daily. Suspension going on is coilovers, adjustable rear lca, adjustable rear toe rods. So what camber/toe/caster you guys running at the track?

What tyres are you using? What are your spring rates?

You main concern should be what tire and size you will be running (camber settings is also depending on tire size, wider tires require less camber). After you have selected a tire, you need your spring rates to be able to handle your tires and your aero. After you have tires and springs, then you can go to tweat the alignment, and you can have a starting point, but only track data will really tell what your settings should be (tire temp and wear accros the patch, as well as focusing on either tire life or maximum grip at the expense of life).

My quick and dirty setup for my track daily car on RS4 tires and basic aero (wing, splitter, hood vents, skirts and diffuser) is: 6kg/8kg springs, -3.8F/-3.2R camber, -0.1 toe-out front, 0 toe rear, ride height 1.5" lower in front, 1" in the back. It works very well, car is balanced with shocks softer on the front, but can be moved towards oversteer or understeer with shock adjustments only. Stock sway bars.
