Recommended tracking alignment settings help

[KenInOntario]

Hi,

I have bought new Nitrons, and am in the process of replacing all the suspension bushes on my 2001 S1 Tuscan.

I also have 3mm wheel spacers fitted as well.

Trying to read all the threads on tracking/alignement settings but it is not clear what the best ones are.

Can someone post here or point me to the latets recommended settings, it woudl be greatly appreciated.

Thx, Ken./

This one was posted and many commneted that it is not the best or recommended anymore, it is from 2005.

Best I have found seems to be form Matt Smith recommendations

Front:
Camber -.75deg
Caster 4 deg
Toe in 10 mins total

Rear:
Camber -1 deg
Toe 23 mins total

Want to verify for those who have tried various, if this is the best.

I can't find the latest details from last year so the attached is from 2017. Both done by Mat Smith

ETA I also have the 3mm spacers on an '04 car and the ride and handling are the best it's ever been with new Goodyear assymetrics.

I used to run (and still run) more toe in than that .. 20mins across the front and 40 mins across the rear. I remember neill anderson driving an early tuscan i was working on with nitron for some early damper settings (i did the tuscan/cerb and peninsula did the chim/griff stuff). he said it was all good apart from a bit soft at the front. I like a car that's stable and not too twitchy on turn in for road use these days. Track use is another kettle of sprouts.

Though to be fair, as with most things, close enough is close enough. If anyone on here can tell the different between say 20mins toe in and 23 you need to be testing for red bull f1. The toe changes more than that with an inch or two of compression/rebound. Same with ride heights. If you can tell the difference 5mm height change makes on a road car you are very sensitive! Get yourself a test driver job with a top touring car team or GTs .. !
