So following on, Ive had a search and found typical toe settings etc but its all in mm. Does the manual have the standard settings as angles, min and sec?
The reason I ask, the front toe out seems large at 2mm as I typically set 0 - 0.5 but this was on Loti. Does the Noble not get skittish in a straight line with this? Just curious, maybe to do with the lack of roll bar? The Loti are on smaller wheels so this obviously makes it look worse but not that much.
And sorry for another question but does the ride height play a large role in the camber settings? Just wondered if the ride height was to be adhered to tightly or can be played with?
As mentioned I have my own corner scales so if anyone in the NE of Scotland wants to see their settings/weights feel free to drop me a mail.

The camber is not adjustable as standard and expect anywhere between 0.5 and 1.5 deg neg as an acceptable tolerance which is not very good.
Ride height can be altered a little bit but you will find that if you try to go much lower than stock setup then the springs are only compressed by the weight of the car, take the weight off and the springs come free from the damper seats which is not good, i would not go much lower than 130mm front, i lifted the rear slightly from stock settings to create more forward rake.
The toe on the rear is also difficult to adjust and is not very accurate, what you really need to do to achieve accurate GEO setup is to modify the bottom wishbones with turnbuckles and the rear strut that adjusts the toe.
I think Simon can also get you some adjustable and strengthened wishbones made up.
Between 2-3mm total toe out on the front is fine for these cars but i tend to keep is closer to 2mm rather than 3, they handle great and are very planted in a straight line, i have had mine up to 170mph and feels really planted and effortless.
