Hi Chris, was great to have you guys around last year. Invaluable feedback to a host of issues that, to be frank, some said either didn't exist, or were very likely one off :doh:

WIthout doubt one of the most comprehensive write ups on the 4. Very much looking forward to seeing what the brake package is like and how your other mods further enhance, what is a mega base in 2023.

The Atom community is literally nothing without guys like yourselves, Ian, and many others all putting time and effort into solving these problems so that everyone can benefit :tu:

Great thread - what changes to geo and alignment did you make?

Also have you played with the damper settings much - was thinking yesterday that currently theres really only track and road settings listed, but should also be wet settings?

Loving the commitment to getting it also sorted :tu:

Chris's car has consistently been run on factory (track) damper settings. Cambers at -2 all round seems to be ok, although I think we've tried a bit more at the rear. But what it seems most sensitive to is toe settings in order to keep the rear from being too lively. I think we're currently at a smidge of toe out on the front and total of 4mm in on the rear. And I believe that's really not very different to factory recommendations.

In due course we may try out stiffer springs, mainly because this is what's recommended when running slicks.
