Ok, did the first autox with the new suspension on sunday, and I wasn't overly impressed with the results, but since I changed almost everything, I cant realy expect to have it right the first time.
So here goes, the car had very sluggish turn-in responce, and wanted to plow through every corner. I really couldn't even get it to rotate under trail braking. Here is the setup: Koni Yellows all around Poly bushings all around Fully adj rear perches w/175lb springs 22mm solid torsion bars 22mm weltmeister front bar set full soft Ride height = 4.75 up front and ~5.25 rear (measured to the donuts) Camber = -1.5 up front -2 rear Toe = 1/16th toe OUT up front and 1/16th toe IN rear With the Koni's set to full hard the car seemed to improve a little, but not much. Also, the course was on a fairly slick parking lot, and I am running 2year old pirelli tires (205/50/15s with plenty of tread, just hard). Finally, I want this car setup mostly for track driving, so I know autox performance is going to suffer some, but it seemed pretty poor overall yesterday (it was definately more fun with the ass up in the air sliding everywhere (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) now I want it to be fast) Any suggestions on where to go from here, or what to try in the future (I know I need better tires).
