- VP Commodore SS 1992
Hi Just Commodores users, Im a new member but read many forums on here as they are so useful.
I have a 92 VP SS and have been upgrading all the key bushes, front radius rod chassis and control arm, sway bar and rear crossmember with nolathane and noltec bushes.
Ive now got to the stage where I would like to have a wheel alignment done to zero in my work but prior to doing it I want to give the car its best shot at performing well and have noticed there are 3 possible strut angle settings that can be achieved by rotating the top strut mount.
It appears to me that one setting would be useless, the other improves caster but reduces negative camber and lastly a position that would increase negative camber but reduce caster.
My car is currently set on the one with more caster but less negative camber.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with changing these angles and which strut top setting they would recommend to put it on prior to having my wheel alignment done?
Also what settings improve the stability of the steering on the VP SS Commodore with IRS?
Im sure alot of experimenting has been done on this by members of this forum and would really appreciate any advice .
