So, Evan and I are getting closer and closer to dialing in the car, but it still is a bit rear traction limited. We saw an improvement in predictability, but maybe not more absolute grip when moving from 225lb to 300lb springs. We certainly carried the inside front wheel less and it never snap oversteered...
I'm already very low in the rear, but could use some more camber I think. The Hoosier A7's love camber... I'm also considering a hair more toe in. I'm currently at about 1/8" total toe in and probably get a bit more. Current basic setup: Raised spindles - 19mm Rebel Racing Front and Rear (teflon) bushings Camber plates 21 mm torsion bars 21 mm front sway bar (set fairly stiff) 300lb rear springs Koni Yellow rear shocks Bilstein front shocks Alignment: Front: 2.2 degrees camber 6 degrees caster 0.13 degrees toe OUT Rear: 2.4 degrees camber 0.13 degrees toe IN I know this is a fairly unconventional set up, but it has been slowly built up and has proven itself to be VERY FAST in the rather large POC/PCA courses we have down here. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM72u_fqmX8 Is there anything I'm missing short of an LSD for picking up some rear grip? |
