I need to learn a bit of how to setup my car better.
Its got new Bilstein shocks all around, new bushings everywhere. Front has the stock torsion bars and a Tarret adjustable swaybar. Rear has 140lbs Weltmeister springs. Last year I ran it with no rear swaybar and the front swaybar set at about 25% from the outer most position. This got the car quite tailhappy when doing autocross/slalom events. During the Winter I added the stock rear swaybar just to see what difference it made and it calmed the tailhappyness down a bit but still a bit twitchy. Whats the next step? Decreaseing the front swaybar setting? Last year in the wet.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrh878om6pI This years first event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eer4JyMl_PI |

In a fairly tuned suspension, I’d make adjustments with tire pressure. 1psi out of the rear.
Your car should step out in the wet. It’s as if you added 700 HP or were driving 20 MPH faster. You can’t compare the two situations. Only same day, same tire same course. |

I did autocross it in the dry last summer too its just that I only had the video of the rainy event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
