It is my first time running at Road Atlanta on Dec 3-4. What should my sway bar be set at front and back? How much camber and toe should I run? Any tips for how you want the car to handle (loose or tight).

^{close to 50% more negative camber in the front than in the rear. I dont have a 1.6 so I am not sure the specifics and have no idea on swaybars my front is not adjustable and my rear stays on soft.}

Full stiff on the bars.

How much camber and toe are you running ?

[Ernie Jr.]

Full stiff on the bars.

You really use full stiff on front and back, isn't it going to be way to loose.

This is what I ran and it felt good, but I am not running 43's. -3.2 camber all around, 0 toe, soft front medium rear, 51.3% cross

I ran 1/16 toe out in front and 1/16 toe in for the rear

I ran full stiff once on a 97 and holy sh+t was it instant loose on turn in. Hille is pretty fast there in his 1.6, I have a 99 and I have been there once I think with more track time my setup is right! I had to tighten the car up twice when I was there simply because I was not driving the track that superbly. I ran 3.2 front and 2.5 rear. It worked very well the car can always be lossened or tightened from there. Hille with that set up could work well also since his high camber in the rear would tighten the car up and then the 51.3 cw would loosen it turning right.

Start turning earlier with slower hands.
It will go faster.

What about tire pressures in 40 degree weather. (were going in december)

[Caveman-kwebb99]

I usually go 32-34 cold at those temps to get 38 hot but have not been on atl in those temps so may not be the same.,
