I'm pushing. Help me turn in. Ran 25psi front and 27 psi rear. How low can I go? I'll loosen up the front bar as well. Workin' on tiars right now. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Thanks, KT |

Dan Gurney.....one of my short list of heros, was one of the first/best of the big bar/ soft spring practioners.
He had purpose built race cars, with infinitely adjustable suspension, a truck fulla shox, springs, tires, LSD clutch packs, AR bars, alignment tools and a crew of guys that knew how to use em' all. He ran on billiard smooth (mostly) tracks and had 2-3 days to set up the car for a given track.......that he already knew. He was/is a suspension set-up guru....."fiddly" per some, but you can't knock his success. About the only thing I can take from him in my endevors is his thinking of running the car as low as possible *without* running on the bump stops under "normal" (AX type) loads. You can't adapt a car to your philosophy without designing the thing to it originally. You adapt your thinking to the car (IMO). I wanna do AX. My venues are rough and kinda tight. I need suspension travel, but I want to keep off the bump stops...except on big bumps. I want the car to turn in quickly, neutral in mid corners with oversteer on command.....tight and sweepers. I don't want the inside rear wheel to lift. I'd accept lifting the inside front lifting if all else was as I wanted. Big bars, little bar, no bars.....same with springs....don't mean shit to me as long as it all worked. |
