Toe = Front 0 Deg. ~ Rear 3 Deg \Toe in

Camber = Front -1 Deg ~ Rear 0 Deg

Diffs = Front as good as Locked it. ~ Rear Normal

Alans TA05 is set with,
Front camber- 0deg
Rear camber -1deg
Front toe- 0 deg
Rear toe -3deg
Front ball diff- Tight
Rear ball diff- Tight
Front springs- soft
Rear springs - Hard
Car needed weight transfer to stop understeer when entering a corner, but we've put this down to the old drift tyres he's using, a new set of Yokomos have arrived so we'll have to see! But other than that the car ran well. He's new Chaser arrived today so I'm waiting for paint to dry at the moment.

I heard that having soft springs on your rear and hard springs on the front , so basically vice versa to the usual setup , is what you should have to drift......?!! anyone know anything about this . I suppose it does make sense      :?
