REAR SUSPENSION
WHFFT.S AND TYRFS
The standard rear axle beam is retained for the
Group A specification, and does not require
additional strengthening. Special competition
bushes are supplied in the kit, and should be
fitted to the body mounting pivot point of the
rear axle. De-carbon gas filled shockabsorbers
have been developed in conjunction with
superprogressive `minibloc' rear springs for
gravel and tarmac events. These must be used in
conjunction with the corresponding front springs
and shockabsorbers, as they are part of a fully
integrated package.
The 18mm. diameter anti-
roll bar, standard fitment on the GTE/GSi
models, must be fitted for tarmac surface
applications. However, certain drivers may also
prefer the loose surface handling characteristics
resulting from running with a rear anti-roll bar
fitted.

height and appearance when using the European
tarmac front spring.
REAR SUSPENSION GEOMETRY
All conditions of use.
CAMBER:

From 0 degrees 40 mins. negative
to 1 degree 35 mins negative.
( Maximum deviation Left to Right, 30 mins.)
TRACKING: From 0.5mm. (5mins.) Toe Out
to 4.Omm. (40 mins.) Toe In.
These parameters cannot be adjusted, and if they
fall outside of the above limits it would suggest
that the rear beam has become distorted.
Wheels have been specially produced for this car
by O.Z. These are available in 15 inch diameter,
with a 6 inch rim width. Experience has shown
that this gives the best possible wheel/tyre
configurations from a performance point of view
for both tarmac and loose surface use. They also
give compatibility with a wide range of tyres and
sizes permitted within this engine capacity class
from most major tyre manufacturers.
