I'm putting my cav GT40 back together now after replacing the front and rear uprights with much stronger (and better designed) fabricated pieces, refinishing the A-arms (powder coat - looks great), and various other improvements and detail tasks. Will post some pics shortly.
I marked and measured all the suspension settings before the car came apart...caster, camber, toe, ride height, etc. However, with new suspension pieces installed the car is going to need a full re-measure and re-set to what's optimal. Optimal for a street driven '40 that might get the occasional amateur track day once in a while, that is.
So what are most people running for a '40 used in this manner? The car runs 60 series rubber on the front and 50 series rubber on the rear. Primarily, the settings should be optimized for comfortable street driving. If I'm a little slow on the track because I don't have enough negative camber, well, that's just fine.
Recommendations for both front and rear for camber and toe, and caster for the front?
Thanks in advance.
ps. a few random/somewhat related pics attached 'cause every post should have a pic....
