Cam camber adjustment bolts - Corsa VXR Racing

When setting up the Bilstein B14s on the Corsa VXR Racing we noted that the front camber was unequal (-1°18' on the NS and - 0°54' on the OS). To try and achieve equal camber on both sides we are going to fit cam camber adjustment bolts which will allow both positive and negative camber changes up to approximately 1.75°. These bolts replace the original upper strut/spindle bolt and should help us to further optimise handling and reduce uneven tyre wear. Not sure what camber we will set the vehicle up with (probably start with 1/1½° negative camber) and take it from there. More details to follow once the camber has been adjusted, road tested and we are happy with the setup.

Bilstein B14 update - Corsa VXR Racing

So the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilover Suspension Kit for the Corsa VXR Racing has been fitted and the full fast road geometry setup completed. The Corsa VXR was already lowered with the Eibachs fitted but with the Bilsteins fitted we have lowered the car by about an extra 5mm to about 40mm. The ride is much improved, however, thanks to the Bilstein B14 shock absorbers which offer much firmer and positive ride control compared with the standard Corsa VXR shocks. The Corsa was set up with 1.5mm toe out on the front and zero toe at the rear. Photos of the Bilstein B14s installation as well as the fast road geometry setup can be viewed at the gallery page of our Corsa VXR Racing website.

Bilstein B14's - Corsa VXR Racing

At last the B14's have arrived from Bilstein. Fitting these will be the last major upgrade to be carried out on the Corsa VXR Racing. Bilstein B14 PSS Coilover Suspension Kits feature threaded body ride height adjustment, together with Eibach springs and offer the latest motorsport development for fast road use. A page on our VXR Racing website dedicated to the Bilstein B14's can be found here. The Bilstein's will be fitted by Thorney Motorsports who will carry out a full Fast Road Geometry setup to ensure the optimum settings are achieved and we take full advantage of the Bilstein race technology.
