    Need a good general set up so i can just tweak it if needed by so many clicks on the day, have taken it to various places before with not much luck of anything changing...

    Find your favourite bit of driving road and go play, or book a trackday.

    Find a place that does corner weighting properly.

    Will it not depend on how you drive though?

    I'd think doing it yourself at a track day would be the answer?

    Is it a dayly or just track car. You wouldnt want it set up for a track then drive it every day. And also set up cimes to personal driving styles and preferance. How much turn in you want how much do you like the back sliding

    It's a 100% track car, I mean the likes of camber, castor, checkin the springs are right to match the dampers, corner weighting loads of things I know there are variables etc but just want a decent all round set up as a base point, adjusting dampening isn't so much an issue like for being wet or tracks with more corners I just want the car to be as planted and optimised with the goods it already has!

    What do you have that's adjustable other than dampers?

    Is this the kit you have? http://www.kamracing.co.uk/car-tunin...coilovers.html Do you know what spring weights, torsion bars, anti roll bars and wheels sizes you will be using? If you know all this someone may be able to give you a good starting point. If you got them from Kam he may even be able to do a basic setup on your car for you. Normally when people are getting in to motor sport its generally recommended to keep adjustment to a minimum as unless your able to lap consistently at pace they adjustment will only confuse matters. If you are a relatively competent driver you can get your stop watch out and do a few test days and see what works for you. For me I always found these cars worked best with a relatively stiff rear end and use the throttle to control the cornering worked best for me.
