Yeah, roll axis angle matters here.

Ive been testing rear toe lately also and finding the fine limit of balance is very sensitive to it. Far more than I previously thought.

@kyoo good job introducing the evo to porsche guys
its quite easy to beat the P-club in our local giant go-kart track because there's barely any room to spin out. I've seen a brand new 911 declared total loss

hard to tell but it's not too crazy. a little lower in the rear and not too crazy up front. it's actually lifted a little more than others cuz I got the street version of Dallas 's front upright, due to knowing it'd be driven in NYC streets. with the race version, I'd have to get it way too low

Basically there are 7 settings. Holes A and B for which hole the bolt goes through, sides 1-7 and the number will always face outboard if you're looking at the rearward lock (the one that you would see if you looked towards the front of the car from the rear). The receiving groove in the subframe is taller than the locks so the locks themselves move up and down in the groove as different positions are used, in some cases the locks may need to be flipped if you run out of space at the top of the subframe groove but the corresponding number will remain on the same side.



5A = most negative camber (bolt should be as far outward in the slot of the subframe as it can go)
2B = next step positive
7B = next step positive
3A = this the center position
3B = next step positive
6B = next step positive
1A = most positive camber (bolt should be as far inboard in the slot of the subframe as it can go)

Technically there are more positions than those 7 but they are extremely close to some of the positions listed above so I don't advertise them because it can get confusing really quickly.
yeah not by any means a complaint, but that is a handy diagram

front control arm angle is really the thing to be looking at. if they're sloping upwards towards the chassis (meaning lower ball joint is lower than inboard chassis joint) it is going to be pretty pushy.

yeah not the case here I don't think. only push I got at the last event was pure physics

If you want more turn youll want to dial in some toe out on the rear and front. 1 - 2 mm per side. You at least want some toe out in the front.

Your camber is quite high in the rear also you probably dont need to be running that much. maybe dial it back to 3deg.

Rear SB could easily be on medium or hard, The softer you have it the more understeer you will have. Stiffen it up and let the *** hang out
