philw99 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Just installed a set of Bc racing coilovers today, can anyone recommend someone to set them up for track day use? In the northwest? Also what's a recommended setup? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Not Zed specific, but I run my MR2 with the BCs 4 steps harder all round when on track. Start with the settings at halfway, and adjust to suit. You'll probably want to get a good geo done as well, preferably before. What track/s are you planning on visiting? Proper tracks will suffer a stiffer setup than airfields. 1 Quote
philw99 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Sorry it's a full laser geo that I need next defo, has to be done. Track wise oulton park next I'd imagine followed by my favourite Cadwell park Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 Laser or string, it doesn't matter: Setup is only as good as the person doing it. Where were you planning on going? I love Oulton, yet to try Cadwell though. 1 Quote
philw99 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Get to Cadwell one of the best in the country in my opinion that's what I'm after someone who knows what they are doing..... Might end up going to London, long way to go for car setup Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I dunno, I traveled from Essex to Warwickshire for the setup on the 911. Always worth it if you know you're getting a good end result, then you can just take those numbers and have someone more local do the annual check. Quote
philw99 Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Think I'm going to end up travelling. More £££££££££ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
philw99 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Been told that Sapphire Garage in Manchester have this Hunter Hawkeye pro wheel Aligner, however I'm assuming they won't know a track setup? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
philw99 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Also been recommend this place called wheels in motion however they are miles away from me talking a 7 hour round trip. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
RVSV2824 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I normally use A-Line in Dudley but ABP in Crewe maybe closer for you. They know their way round CTRs but should be able to cater for Z's and whatever setup you need. Give them the geo figures you want or they could suggest different setups for you. 1 Quote
Ekona Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Also been recommend this place called wheels in motion however they are miles away from me talking a 7 hour round trip WIM in MK? They are very good, they did the setup on my MX5 for me and it was very well done. Quote
philw99 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 Thanks guys going to phone that ABP in Crewe. Sounds like a good option Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
philw99 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) anyone know how I can make this look better? Currently it's pushing against the rear window Edited July 22, 2014 by philw99 Quote
Commander Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Can't you just cut it shorter and re-attach the end? Quote
philw99 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Guess that would make senses. No idea why I didn't think of that. Quote
headrush Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I run bc coilovers and have done Spa the ring and Donnington so far this year, if you set adjuster 4 clicks from soft for road use that is around a standard set up, for track go 11 clicks more back and front, I found this setup worked rearly well, you can if you wish go stiffer on the front if you wish just have a play and see what suits you best, I would also recommend MPSS tyres.

philw99 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Nice one thanks for that will give it a try when I hit the track 1 Quote
philw99 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Ok going to book in at ABP in Crewe however they want me to provide the alignment setting for a 350z. Most of the alignment settings I've seen on the forum talk about putting back to stock? Does anyone have any better trackday setup? Quote
philw99 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Getting two messages when calling places. Wheels in motion were really helpful. Go with a standard factory stock setup. Don't lower the car too much or you won't be able to get back to factory settings. Need to start buying extra things Quote
headrush Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 Hi i suggested the shocker setup for you, my alignment and camber was set as standard and was great on track, think the camber is about 2 deg rear if you go any more than that you will have high tyre wear. Quote
philw99 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 Phoned Bc they talk about going back to factory settings and said the tow angle is the most important thing. Quote

Thanks mate, Have you lowered the car much? Did you have any problems going back to standard? Quote
philw99 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Still not sure what's alignment setting to go for but the cars booked it for Hunter alignment next Friday best get it finished this weekend then! Quote
Desey Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 around -2 degree camber front, -1.5 rear and a little toe-in should sharpen your car right up go somewhere where they know their stuff and they will sort you right out 1 Quote
philw99 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Thanks mate, I'll talk to them about that Quote
