The car was awful in transitions Saturday AM, needs more damping - any sudden change in direction was instant snap oversteer. We dropped rear pressures to 29psi(!) to get some more compliance in the rear; that, plus the course rubbering up, plus some driving adjustments made it quite a delight to drive. We gained enough camber front/rear to eliminate any rollover issues. Front pressures we left at 44-46, slightly lower than my old setup, it didn't feel broken so we didn't try to fix it. I'll play with lower pressures at a local.
If you are going to do the springs you really should get real shocks. I have a long history of driving through some really hack car setups so don't take my result as a sign you can just slap the springs on and go. |
46 PSI on Rivals? Holy shit.
Well nice job on the second place. Admittedly, I was hoping you got protested so we could finally make sense of this all.....but I guess the Saga continues.
