Drop KW Germany a quick email with info on your set up (tyres, power output etc) they are very good and will usually provide you with some settings to try....

Thank you aussie in London i have just done that !

VO, i have the clubsports but have seen people refer to them as i mentioned in the title, so i was trying to use the common termonology i had seen on this site !

So its Clubsports, H&R anti roll bars, 430 bhp 680nm tourque on Michy Supersports, any idea's? i do realise everyone has different preferences and i'm sure i can fine tune it whilst i'm there, a starting point was what i was after!

Hopefully KW will email me back, thanks anyway guys !

Would be interesting to get your feedback from them later on. I am still using the standard setting as of KW.

o toe in the front, 1.4 toe-in in the back. -2.4 degrees of camber in front, -1.9 in the back. I will go to Michelin Cups and increase to camber in front to -2.6 / -2.8.

Damper settings are very personally. KW mentioned to me their standard set-up should work very well on the Ring. Personally I find it to soft. Especially in the front I would close it 2-3 clicks on the bottom, 3-4 on the top. I am still fine tuning myself.

I am driving the CS with Super Sports myself. Check your tire pressure and try 2.1-2.2 bar warm in the back, in the front 2.2-2.3. This made a big difference in grip compared to the higher pressure I was using before. (at least on a other track I was driving and tried it out)

the best is to start with the standard set-up and start from there, as as I said, the damper setting are really personal. Never change more then 1 max 2 clicks at the time. The impact is very noticeable.
The harder front gives you a better more precise turn-in. You can also turn the damper in the back a bit harder (1 or 2 clicks more closed below in the back compared to the standard settings).
Let me know your experience! I will go back in September and try to find a decent set-up. Still searching myself ;-)

Had it set up last night and the difference is night and day, just working on the damper settings now, hard on the rear attracts a lot of traction problems, the turn in is transformed, the rest is work in progress as you say !
