Camper, Toe, Caster etc. settings.

[Jonas_R]

Can anybody tell me the factory camber, toe, caster and so on settings for the s2 (3b 1992)?

have a look on S2central.net. Its on there IIRC.

Jonas,

does this help?

[Jonas_R]

Well it does help, a car company had to adjust my suspension, but it seems that they have adjusted it for a 80,90 quattro 1987-1991 so that kinda sucks. Will call them on monday and talk to them.

[Martynf]

oh, not good!! I hope they will correct it for you! good luck.

Jonas - please note the MASSIVE tolerance in the factory spec's...

Ask your alignment place to get as close to your desired setting as possible, but most important get it even on both sides eg - if you want (say) -2degrees camber at the front and successfully get that on the left side - but can only get -1.8degrees on the right side then get the left side setup for -1.8degrees.

Note also the car should be filled with normal driver & passenger weights whilst alignment is carried out.

True, although, if you want to be really picky (like I am when it comes to my car), especially if you autocross or do a lot of track time, these adjustments should be done with the driver in the driver seat, helmet (or equiv weight on lap), and the same amount of fuel you'd use in competition.

I autocross my car all the time, and this is how I adjust the ARBs, and my front strut bar. Every little bit helps.

[Jonas_R]

Well this is the repport that i got, sorry for the bad image quality
venstre=left , højre=right
foran=front
bag=rear
Aktuel= the difference between the camper, toe etc.

Looks bad does right?

ja din camber er go fin i venstre side men højre side passer ikke med den venstre,der vil være nogle røde felter når du kommer med en bil der er opgraderet,jeg vil personligt have omkring 1 i negativ camber både for og bag,så kør den bedre i svingene,det går lidt ud over retnings stabiliteten men det er okey.så få dem til at lave den om.

I was thinking the same thing. Just didnt want to show off with my expert Danish typing!!

Could you translate what RIX said for us english speaking ppl please? Would be nice to know what was said

The frightening thing is that if you work through each word you can get the basic meaning of some words.
opgraderet = upgrade?
personligt = personally?
du = you?
side passer = passenger side?
negativ camber = shock absorber?
går lidt = Garlic

easy really
