rally mini setup

Post by Lenhamracer »

Hi

I have to restore the lower suspension arms on my rally clubman as the screw of the lower arm came loose and the arm came off resulting in total suspension failure and a lot of camber...
I would like to know if you recommend the adjustable arms from minispares or minisport or better stay with standard ones.(or neg. camber?) Whatever you think would be very interesting.
Thank you very much

I have fixed 1.5 bottom arms and rose jointed tie bars, the handling is now terrific, i can just throw it in even harder than when it was standard

*EDIT*

This is on a road car, but i have to add, my track car that was a rally car had negative camber, albeit crudely done by extending the arms

you dont want rose jointed tie bars on a rally car - you'll smash the thing to bits , fixed or adjustable depends on the ride height and how accurate you want the camber - a 1.5 degree bottom arm will only give you 1.5 degrees on what you already have - if it rides high you may end up with 0 degrees camber , rides low maybe 2 degrees.
my fia historic car uses 1.5s but as it rides high there is zero camber , if you can use them id go for minispares ones - but not rose jointed
