I've just bought my first Mk2, never driven one or worked on one before - could anyone tell me a base setting for ride heights, camber castor and toe in/out - car is on 15" wheels with adjustable Bilsteins.

Thanks in advance

Also make sure the car is reasonably level height wise front to back....too many about now sittin down on the back and up on the front....thats not right....i never seen any of Vatinens cars like that....!!

Will you be considering taking the MK2 to Ireland LS?

Hope so Mark, we are hoping to do West Cork in the Metro and then ALMC Stages,Sligo and COI fingers crossed so maybe a couple in the escort if we can drive it !

For Tarmac work 2mm toe in on the back axle helps, press the pigs head and support the tubes. also if you are coming to Ireland take a long look at the bump steer (angle of the steering arm to the TCA)

toe 0 to 3mm in / 2.5 to 3 degrees castor for 15' wheel / 1.5 degrees camber /chassis rails 6' off the ground

Would any of the above settings be different for 13" wheels on a tarmac car ?
