Anyone have these or know where the exact ones could be found.

Before they are done professionally next month they'll need to be quickly checked after the new suspension goes on in my workshop. Then they will be done perfect on abetter system next month.

Just need a good starting point really. :)

Thanks guys.

I assume you mean spring & damper rates? Dont think that info is circulating in the club, might be best to try and get hold of Eibach direct...

If your refurbing old units, why not call the NCC for a new set? Cheap as chips at the moment.

Ah Rob, no my friend.

Geometry settings.

I assume someone must have them, there have been a lot of people fitting suspension recently, surely they are not just driving the car un-setup so to speak.

The car will be professionally done 7 days after the suspension is fitted but it still needs to be right.

what settings are you referring to..?

camber is set up from the knuckles and is not adjustable.... only the toe is adjustable... :idea:

As Chris said your somewhat limited with setup, the Ford Racing geometry sheet just specifies toe settings.

Alan haven't you got a scan of this document?? There is a tolerance range, however the much quoted figure is 2mm toe in.

Yeah all cars have settings to adjust toe in toe out ect...The tracking is out slightly as it is so it will need adjusted once the new stuff goes on. I'll give my local specialist a call and see what he says.
