Today at the track, with my new Hoosier A6's, I was lifting the inside front tire. I had installed 180 lb springs, took off the rear sway bar and tightened up the front 19mm Tarrett just a little. Everyone at the track told me that I needed beefier springs in the back. Well, I have 220 lbs springs, shall I try them? Shall I leave the sway bar off? Should I soften or tighten the front sway bar? Oh, I am running 205/15 on 5.5 rims. I am looking at 7" rims to get the patch better. Any other recommendations?

I luv 180s. Most guys give up on em'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
There is a way to deal with em' and make up time on the 95 % "give it up" crowd. Watch the guys that know and you'll get the idea. I learnt a few things over the years......just not enuff .....but 180s are one. The driving part is simple even tho they are all different.....with practice......one pass was enough. The corner itself is not that much quicker, but faster.....and the exit is also (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif). While most are grinding off their front tires, I'm gone.. The car set up part fit with my AX standard method, so it was easy also. |
