Metric car setup help

[FREJJ1]

I'm trying to figure out how to get 3300 # metric car setup. What caster/ camber should I be running? What weight percentages should I be running?Thanks for any help.

without more info, here is a basic setup. Caster-lf+1 1/2, rf+3 1/2. Camber lf +2, rf - 4. Left side 51-52%, rear 52-54%, cross 49-50%. This is just a start and there are several steps to do before these.

Here is what I've got..51%cross, 51% left, 53% rear. LF Caster +1 Camber +3 RF Caster -2.5 Camber + 2.5Looks like it's close to your recommendation. How do I get the cross down?

Why do you want your cross down? Does it push? 52% handles pretty well for me. Below 51 for my driving style is way too loose. But changing ride height's is how to change cross. Car works on an x with lr and Rf connected, rr and lf connected and axis in the middle. In order to change your cross (lr and rf rate) you have to change the rr and lf heights to get the weight off of the other side.

Thanks for the "X" example. That makes everything make more sense. The car isn't pushing, just loose coming out of turn.

your rf caster is way off. You said you have -2.5 and + 2.5 camber. should have + 3.5 caster and - 4 camber. you show 53% rear, how much heavier is lr than rr(bite). you don't mention springs, shocks ride heights etc. really can't tell whats wrong because too many things missing

[FREJJ1]

The LR weighs 839 RR 754 ( car without driver) 85# of biteLR 926 RR 799 (Driver on board) 127 # of bite I'm not sure what size springs.. That is on my list to check.

[Fox_hunter42]

maybe a little light on bite, also need a little info on track and how much stagger

[FREJJ1]

Track is usually pretty sticky and the bottom is usually fastest. I run 1/2" to 1" stagger front and back.

[Fox_hunter42]

banked or flat, short tight corner or long sweepers,
we run 1/3 mile, semi bank, medium corners, we run 1 1/2-2 inches of stagger

If you drop your cross you will get looser on exit unless you are tight in the center and then snap loose past mid turn. 51 cross is in the ballpark though. 51.5-52.5 is what i like the best. Bite is pretty low but that should come up if you up your cross a bit
