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.

Hope this is of help
