Bill, Thanks for sharing your project!
I don't know about those door plates though. They sure look pretty, but performance enhancing? Do you really have high hopes for them? I'm already coming up with my excuse that I didn't get FTD because my door plate was loose. |

based off the engineering hypothesis..I am hoping they stiffen the chassis a bit more so I don't have to run Strut bars..we'll see.. the review I read said he noticed a difference in turn-in...sooo anything is possible.. .. makes sense.. as for FTD...I am chasing some pretty established folks here...Colin Fiedler, Jason Frank, Bertack... You get the picture..... just want the car so I can get some seat time.....

I'm pretty sure ideal spring rates on an impreza chassis are going to be totally different than this chassis.

I'm going to definitely look at what they do as well. Should start to get interesting soon.

In the past, I used a MaxQData system with a track overlay from Track Vision... for now I will be using a nice phone ap called Race Ace...it should serve for my purposes...if it doesn't I will get the Trivinci Race Keeper. with multiple camera inputs. . we'll see

Helmet looks awesome!
This car is definitely going to be a little more difficult to tune suspension-wise than an Impreza. We've got a good start on things but still much more testing to come! - Andrew |

Nice read...
iirc HKS ran 8/6 spring rates & 7/5 spring rates on simple modded GT86 at the Tsukuba |

I do think square rates are a good starting point for most people. I'd shy away from softer in the rear, especially for auto-x. Might make some sense with an aggressive rear diff but I think it's a better idea to go with firmer rates in the rear (and then avoid using a too-large rear swaybar).
