Since my cars only for track days does anyone have any recomendations of what setup to have I'm probably going to have to swop my front coilover dampers as one might be leaking and the other sits massivly proud for some reason (more than Gax normally do) but thinking about the dci destroying it tyres on the track adn knowing how much tilt (I don't remember the techie term) the cup rac cars have has anyone got any recomendations of how much tilt to give them and if so how do I achive this is drilling the shock bolts a safe idea or is camber correction the only way?

I was meaning to ask you for part number. I've been trying at Renault but its impossible to find without a part number.
Does that work with the Wills track?
Thats one one on the pink car you were telling me about wasn't it?
4 degress negative ha ha proper race style I'll have to remove the plates the car still looks normal with them.

Drill out the one hole on the shock, and weld a washer over each side to extra strength...word you are looking for is camber ;)

Let me know what heights you decide to run, i'm gonna rias rhte back end of mine a little i think, see what difference it makes

The cars about as low as it can run. It already fowls the arches and bumper as it is.
I'm not to keen on the drill idea realy I know its safe etc and I could do calc to see but I like to play it properly and safe.
When i go see the car Friday I'll find out some measurments

Well using shear theorum its on the outside edge(s) that its gonna fail, so if you remove material from the inside of the top hole, you won't be weakening the structure, you'll only be removing material from the inside, this will give you room for movement.

Can always play it safe and drill another hole through, and fix it with 3 bolts
