Hey guys. I wanted to know what damper settings you guys were running in regard to the tarmac 2 coilovers.

Please share track-only settings.
I know the RCE T2 manual has some settings for mix-use (both DD/Track) ...but pure-track settings would be nice. SoCal tracks too. |

@Racecomp Engineering
Do you offer external adjustment so I don't have to go underneath the car to adjust the dampers? |

The knobs are on top and bottom. The bottom can be reached with the wheel turned but it's tough to see unless you're laying down.
Those settings are good for the track. - Andy |

RCE T2s are two way adjustable...separate knobs for compression and rebound. Gives you lots of control.
Rebound is easily reached on top at the camber plate. Compression is on the bottom of the strut/shock. - Andy |

I noticed every time I get a stickier tire the car tends to roll once I start taking corners I've set up the dampers to where they felt great on federal rsr but I recently upgraded the tires to a more sticky tire the federal rsr rr and I have roll once again just want to get some input is it time to upgrade the springs or get sway bars runing negative-3 front camber and -2.5 rear lowered 1 inch all corners |

@Racecomp Engineering What do you guys consider to be the optimal right height on the T2's when not using bump steer correction kit? I run in STX class, so I have to leave those parts stock. Right now I'm dropped 30mm from stock, but wonder if I should raise it back up a bit?

Remember a little roll is OKAY...but if you're rolling excessively and uncomfortable with the car's handling then yes some swaybars are a good next step. - Andrew |

You can go a little lower with firmer rates and/or more camber. This may not be doable for daily drivers. - Andrew |

I usually set my ride height even front and back with a full tank and all the trunk junk. That way, when I'm doing AutoX, it gives me a little bit of positive rake. Running 1/4 tank and taking out the trunk junk makes about 1/4" difference in the rear. Last edited by smg1138; 06-20-2016 at 04:42 PM. |
