It's still on standard torsion bars with updated shocks. what would you say was a good camber for the front wheels? I've managed to get about 2.5 degrees |

40mm is too low, it'll be bumpstop city.camber really depends on the tyres you run. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

If it's completely track only and for competition?Should be scraping the sideskirts on the floor and there'll be a hole in the wallet from setting it up to cope. However, with standard TB's on an enjoyable, predictable handling track/road car I'd agree with Welshpug, don't go much more than 25-30mm or you might have a nasty surprise when it fires off the bumpstop on a bumpy track... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
