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?

OK, I am ready for Tuesday's corner balance. Here is what I have done so far in preparation:
Hoosier A6s on 7x15 Revolutions with 1/4" spacers (Wheels are very heavy but will have to do for now. Front: Bilstein struts New polybronze bushings All the neg camber I can get with moving the strut inboard (LF -1.1 deg RF -.6, measured with car level with a digital level.) 19mm anti-sway bar at softest position for now 22mm torsion bars Rear: Bilstein shocks with Ground Control coil overs 225 lb springs All the neg camber I can get by removing all shims. LR -1.8 degs RR -2.2 degs I guess when my man gets his equipment on the car, I will know more about what I have. I didn't bother measuring the toe as it will be aligned. Any suggestions on toe measurements and than book measurements? |
