    Im looking the thread i seen with the settings for the above. I rem reading it about 6 months ago but cant find it anywhere. Anyone?

    Reason being im running 355 wheels oem with recommended 355 Pirellis all round on a 92 uk 348 TS.

    Im not happy with the handling compared to how it felt with oem rims and tyres. Wanting to know the best settings for toe camber and ride height etc. keeping in mind that the car has narrower axle width.

    Ps ive tried all the recommended spacer settings :)

    Front ride height 163mm
    front caster 7 degrees (power steering) 5 degrees (manual)
    front camber -0.5 degrees
    front toe 2mm in
    Front wheel weight 720-740 pounds

    Rear ride height 187mm
    rear camber -2.0 degrees
    rear toe 2mm in
    Rear wheel weight 940-960 pounds

    In general, ride heights control the feeing of hte car while camber dial in minor adjustments after you get the car into the ball park. Air pressure changes fine tune the setup.

    Hi Mitch

    Thanks for your reply

    Ive compared your settings to my manual, just wondering were you get these settings.

    Are they 355 or your own personal settings through trial and error or from other chatters.

    Should i set the car up this way with the spacers and if so what size are you running.

    These are the mid point of the F355 manual and how my car was setup.

    I don't run spcers, I adjust the rear ride hiight to adjust oversteer versus understeer.
