due to the offset you have to run -3 camber to avoid arch rubbin.

on track ok but on road tramlines like a bugger

Pretty much as Shimmy said. I loved it on track but was a bit of a pig on road. With the right set up the front end is absolutely nailed on but only worth doing in warm/dry conditions and tracks where you need a good front end. I don't mind running the setup for a quick road run to a track but for touring forget it. Best way to do square set up is with 18" wheels and the right off set. It's a bit easier on road then as you can run slightly less extreme camber. Ask Shimmy about that.

I only run it occasionally to get rid of my 265 Cup mountain of part worn tyres.

rears on the front

brett,shim and alex

currently running -3 camber with 235's and 15mm spacers

this pm i fitted a worn set of rears to the front and will give it a go

loving the deep wheel look on the front!!

Pictures - or it didn't happen .

cslsuperfan - as they say, wheel rub is problem, and defo if you were tracking it fast in a compression.
Im running square set up on 18" TD's, and found -3 a bit too much, and rubbed inside tyre edges out too quick, I run -2.5 and get a more even tyre wear.

Mike R - pics as requested

"it happened!!"

[Johnydesmo]

WOW - that's one filled wheel arch!
...edit yeah I know two...

Very purposeful

square set up verdict so far

80 mile test drive today.

no rubbing on front arches on road test

car clatters a little more over poor road surfaces(30 profile doesn't seem to affect speedo accuracy.. 80mph @ 3000 rpm which is what it was before running 235's on the front)

tramlining is interesting!!

turn in is sharp!!! cesil behaved well but the tramlining keeps you honest and both hands definitely on the wheel

i'll bring both front wheels on the munich trip just incase i have a change of heart:-D

What neg you running?

[billyboysm3]

I run mine at -3.3 with even wear on last set of cups on 18's and last set of GY's on 19's.

I dont mind it tram lining on country roads as used to it now.

But do swap rims round each TD.

I have recently tried an 18x 9.5J ET25 up front and found no issues of yet. Tiny rub on plastic wheel liner on full lock.

18" is the better option in my opinion but std 19" do make the car look hard as hell!

Oh, and forget the spacers on front with rears.
