Life's been good to me so far..... Group: Admin Posts: 15,498 Joined: 11-September 03 From: Hurst, TX. Member No.: 1,143 Region Association: NineFourteenerVille |
I got to run my /6 conversion on the AX course yesterday after the Maverick Region AX102 school. Well, I learned a LOT about the car in just 2 runs.
It understeers......BADLY. I can't keep the front end planted to get it to turn. We had a skid pad circle in the course and all I did was plow my way wider on the circle. What I am looking for are suggestions to fix it. Front has 23mm torsion bars, delrin bushings, turbo tie rods, and a stock front sway bar (left stock deliberately to allow me to tune the suspension before replacing the bars) Rear has 165 progressive springs, delrin bushings, and a stock rear sway bar. I know everyone says to disconnect the rear bar, but IIRC that will just make the problem worse. My choices. 1. Install adjustable sway bars front and rear. 2. Up the rear spring rate to 180. Changing the springs is probably the first choice, but I am a bit worried about making the ride to stiff to drive on the street. So... let's hear the suggestions........ |
