Set up is very similar to what we run. Are you running the rear end square, and are you leeding the RF or LF?

The set up on my sons car is very close to what you posted, we're changing the front springs to 200RF and 225LF,.....the springs that were in the car were to heavy for his style of driving.

Lead the car with the right front keep the rear end square unless you know what you are doing, if you cock the rear end it will be very loose and you will have to tighten the car up, maybe to much for mid corner however, experimenting is what the name of the game is all about, you might hit on something that work for you.

My left front is leading my right front similar to the setup posted above.  The rear end is squared.

Any track if you are running a high banked track run a 200 lb spring in theRR if running a flatter track use a 225 in the RR.

the only question I have is that it looks like you are running toe out.  why?  There are those that I race with who run toe out as well and one guy runs toe in and he won the track championship.  I know that doesnt mean much be said that you want to do everything you can to get the car to turn left and running toe out makes no sence to him either.

We run the toe at 1/8" out so that when the suspension travels, under braking, it evens out at zero.  You can make micro adjustments in the toe to change "feel", but be very cautious!  You can make it twitchy really easily!

Hey qweedqwag, where is that setup for sale?  I am curious... because I doubt the person you are referring to would sell his setup to people.  Even if  he did, did you buy it with the availability of you being able to distribute?  It just seems odd he would ... because then why sell if you are going to sell to one and let everyone else get it for free?

I just don't find posting someone else's setup, unless that person gave express written permission, to be ethical.  It technically isn't legal either, depending on circumstance.

Nothing against ya qweedqwag.  If you were posting your own setup, that is one thing.  Posting someone elses is a bit rude, don't ya think?

Oh, and HI.  Nice forum setup here. :)

This forum is all about sharing information.  And the fact that he posted someone ele's setup should not make any difference.  Setup's are all based on driver input anyways.  The Clay Hair setup that everyone seems to want does not work for most drivers and the car would be very scary to drive.  I think the posting was to give people and newbies a place to start with a setup.  There are 160 poeple on this forum and I am sure there are 160 different ideas on setup.

Purchased set up.
When you PURCHASE a set-up in written form it is not legal to publish that information to the public for free, now, depending on how that information has been protected would reflect the level of legality.
I have helped alot of people for free, but I really dont appreciate it when my info is passed around. iIhave spent years and lots of money to develop my info, since I am a dealer I often help my parts customers with set-up and other advice, but these are my customers. The information regarding the set up that has been posted is basic info, there is alot more to a true set-up than wheel base, springs, etc. there are alot of measurements and details in the geometry of the car that make a set-up work.  Good luck.
