V70 suspension geometry

[dave stew]

There are few threads on this - setting up the suspension geometry on a P2. I thought about an increase in castor and camber up front to try a d sharpen up the steering and turn in.

I did read that increasing the castor angle too much amplifies the torque steer - I did think about taking advice from Kalmar Union who campaign an S60 and basing settings on a milder version of that.

Any thoughts P2 enthusiasts?

Could be an idea. I'm still planning on looking at camber adjustment bolts from PFV.

But I have more pressing needs first! Like the bones & ball joints.

Talking of bones . . .

When do you want yours? Next weekend any good?

Apologies for hijacking, Dave.

Nahh, it'll be the start of next month when I'm paid.

Hope that's not inconvenient mate. Need time to have the car off the road too!

Hi Dave,

there's some info on T5D5 about this:

I'll be playing with my settings later this year after I've had a set of IPD arb's fitted. One member of T5D5 is also investigating if we can get some custom bushes made for the rear camber adjustment as there doesn't appear to be anything available at the moment and this is really needed with several of us running lowered suspension setups qwith the associated compromise on tyre wear (http://forums.t5d5.org/outside-edge-rear-tyre-wear-t10532.html).

Great advice. Thanks! Will start the messing soon...

not sure if anyone has touched on this company but ...........

are a big hit for getting your suspension sorted1

a lot of the 911 crowd use them.

I was off there with my 911 but I now have my V70R so will get used to it then see about playing!

It is definately worth looking at. I haven't heard a negative thing about them!
