If you're in Elderslie, you are an hour or so away from Brian. Why not go there?

PS. Contact Tim for the form to become a greenie and access all the info available

For now here's the setting (from Brian)
"Scooter posted these on 260s so thanks Scooter.

Front camber -1deg10' +-0deg 15'
Front toe total +0deg 12' +-0deg 6'

rear camber -2deg 05' +-0deg 15'
rear toe total 0deg 36' +- 0deg 6'

Thrust 0deg 00' +-0deg 6'

Tyre pressures Front 34 psi Rear 36 psi

Checked with a full tank of fuel, to correct for fuel level add to boot in kg.
3/4 full add 10 kg
1/2 full add 20 kg
1/4 full add 30 kg
empty add 40 kg
Note 1 litre of water weighs 1 kg the weight should be placed as far forward as possible

I don't think these are the settings for the VHS kit. I've got them somewhere, I'll try and dig the them out and post them.

;)Just go to Brian and you won't have to worry about metric;)

but just in case

Front camber -1deg10' +-0deg 15' = 1.16 degrees + 0.25 degrees
Front toe total +0deg 12' +-0deg 6' = 0.2 degrees + 0.1 degrees

rear camber -2deg 05' +-0deg 15 '= 2.08 degrees + 0.15 degrees
rear toe total 0deg 36' +- 0deg 6' = 0.6 degrees + 0.1 degrees

Thrust 0deg 00' +-0deg 6' = 0 degrees + 0.1 degrees

Here are the settings I received from VHS when I got the kit for my car.

Front:
Total toe (alignment): 15 min in +/- 5 min
Camber: Negative 1 deg 45 min (Front camber is not normally adjustable)
Caster: 3 deg 35 min (Not normally adjustable)
Rear:
Total toe (alignment): 36 min in
Camber: 2 deg 40 min (This is adjustable on the rear but should not require adjustment.)

With the alignment set as shown, tyre wear should be as the standard set-up although this will vary depending on driving style. :rolleyes:

Hope this is of help :thumb
