R56 GP2 specific alignment settings
GP2 specific alignment settings
In the following article it talks about special alignment settings which help with its track handling. Anybody know what those alignment settings are?
"This is evidenced especially in the suspension, where new inverted dampers (with the body on top and rod on the bottom) are used to increase front-end stiffness. Additionally, front wheel toe-in is reduced, while rear wheel camber is increased. According to Mini, the toe-in change improves steering response and provides quicker turn-in, while the camber change allows the rear tires to keep more contact with the road under cornering behavior. Both, Mini says, lead to a quicker, more confidence-inspiring car on the track. "

If the inverted dampers on it are anything like the 4 sets I went through on my old STi no thanks. The rears specifically would start to clunk, even with as little as 5,000 miles on them. Finally went aftermarket with a nice set of ohlins to get rid of the issue.
