Car has, ball joint disc front end adjustable (stock shocks)and Porsche 914 rear trailing arms with Koni coil over shocks. Car weight is 750kgs. No sway bars at the moment.
OK, I'm getting some alignment work done in the next couple of weeks after changing the rear trailing arm pivot rubbers (now bronze) and a couple of ball joints on the front. What I'm looking for is some basic targets for the rear and front geometry. I've also modified the rear pickup point so as to take out the huge neg camber I had on the back allow some adjustment.
What's your thoughts?
Front caster is fixed.

Yeah, new bushes are manufactured by http://elephantracing.com the other option was full poly bush or a needle bearing setup.
What camber do you run in the front Craig?

I don't want no give:P Track.
Bronze bush with a thin outer poly layer (they can't be sure the housing it presses into is concentric) v steel pivot pin.
It will not necessarily bind if suspension and steering geomentry is aligned correctly..Ie formula one cars have rod-ends, not bushes.
I need to get mine adjusted also..I have a fair wack of neg camber on the front. Castor needs looking at though as still gets sketchy above 160. Is better since first set of shims.
