Wakefield suspension settings

**Benson** · 25-07-2009 08:38 PM

2.5" camber is a fair bit. I would of went for 1 -1.5 neg camber for the rear.

Playing with dampers should only be done after you have the right tyre pressure. I know in our EG, we havent touched damper settings or experiment much, its all in the tyre pressures and alignment settings

hmm the tyres were about 33-34 hot.

the camber was set by BTC in smithfield, dunno if that is what made it twitchy.

But the pro driver told me my rear was too stiff also from the way the car reacted.

i dropped the damper by 1 and it seem to react better.

All in all it was great and i can't wait for the next time out.

I'll try getting the camber adjusted for 1degree next time

well done

thanks man i had heaps of fun. Its great when someone take the time to give a few tips on the track

only thing is the pedal has gone abit spongy & the pads don't seem to bite as hard anymore. They were stock ITR pads. They didn't even wear out that much.
Dunno if the heat screwed them up

yeah, stock ITR pads do go a bit spongy after a few sessions.

How much did your wheel alignment cost you?

**Limbo** · 26-07-2009 11:58 PM

wheel alignment cost me $60

they'll do that, it goes away after a while if you are using good fluid (like RBF600 or similar).

if you are using stock fluid, you will need to bleed the brakes if it doesnt go away...

We use to run stock fluid. Not much fade after 2-3trackdays. We give it a flush after 4 events

**Limbo** · 28-07-2009 05:03 PM

yeah it seems to be good now. I used castrol response, newly flushed for the track.

So its the fluid not the pads then that has the issue?

**Benson** · 28-07-2009 05:09 PM

If your pads are really low, then yeh its an issue as well

I know with my last EK, i barely had any brake pads left, brakes were really spongy, new pads and it fixed all the issue
