S1 suspension settings?

[magpies]

I'm going to have my S1 on a 4 wheel alignment rig this weekend

what is the recommended rear wheel toe setting - it has the later split trailing arms (presume small toe out)

What is the recommended front toe (presume small toe in) and camber (presume 1 to 1.5 deg -ve)

It's highly dependent on how you want it to handle. I think the original spec was something like -0-5 +/- 0.25 camber rear with zero toe, -1 +/- 0.25 front with a couple of mil toe-in. That seems fine for cruising but you would probably want double that camber for more aggressive driving. I run about -3 front and -3.5 rear for a track focused setup (more camber on the rear because of the lack of roll camber correction w/ the trailing arm setup). More toe-in tends to make the steering less responsive - less makes it more darty. As you increase the -ve camber you will probably want to increase the toe-in slightly to get the same steering response, just a few minutes per degree.

Cheers for the info
I'm likely to go for an initial set up as:
Front : Camber -1.5deg and 3mm Toe in
Rear : I'll see what it is, but unsure how to adjust (does have the later split trailing arms though)

Any-one fitted a rear anti-roll bar? I've not looked to see if there is room

I've seen a rear ARB fitted but not got one on mine (yet).

If you want to adjust the rears, do it by shims between the hub and the arm. It's quick and easy to insert slotted washers / shims and doesn't involve dismantling anything, just slackening the bolts.
