Hello all,
I need to get the guys who look after my cars to do a full Geo on the F as it has just had lowing knuckles and new dampers...

can anyone tell me what the factory Geo settings are for the F, and also if there are any more agressive Geo settings?

also what tyre pressures are people running? (i have Toyo T-1R's at the moment, although probably swapping on to R-1R's in a week or so)...

She goes for her MOT next week so wish me luck!

Cheers
Oz.

Standard MGF settings and pressures.
Wheel alignment:

Front 0.10’ ±6’ toe-out
Rear 0.10’ ±6’ toe-in

Tyre pressures lbf/in bar
185/55 R15 V (front wheels only)- 26 lbf/in ......... 1.8 bar
205/50 R15 V (rear wheels only) - 28 lbf/in ......... 1.9 bar
215/40 R16 Z (front wheels) - 24 lbf/in ......... 1.7 bar
215/40 R16 Z (Rear wheels) - 28 lbf/in ......... 1.9 bar


Although , personally, I run my 16s at 26psi front; 30psi rears.

thanks, the car has been lowered however, anyone have any more agressive alignment settings? anyone know what the MGF trophy cars run? or even MGF cup cars...?
Toe out on the front will make the car tram-line a little, and although helps with initial turn in isnt great for stability...

any advice?
