Chassis reinforcement for race slick use.
Hi there.
I plan to start using Michelin WEC race slick soon. This guy : http://www.apr-europe.com/pneus/24-6...rt-gt-s8l.html I was wondering if any of you used slicks without chassis reinforcement and how well the body reacts to the abuse ? Or which reinforcements are critical ?

I ran Hoosier A6's for an autocross season on an otherwise stock car. No chassis issues whatsoever. Don't be surprised if you start picking up the inside rear more.

We are blessed with a pretty stiff chassis.
Is your intention to run the stock suspension? You will not run into big chassis flex issues until things get very stiff. Generally chassis stiffening is the last step you take, and only when it becomes a significant percentage of total flex in the system. |

Have you done anything regarding improved suspension bushings? Energy Suspension makes a polyurethane set.
http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/ener...ings-1436.html http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/ener...ings-1435.html While CSG makes a crazy spherical bushing set for your entire drivetrain and suspension. http://counterspacegarage.com/produc...-kit-gt86.html The tradeoff would be increased NVH. Probably a lot of increased NVH if all of the bushings were spherical. |

RJ, do you have a build thread? I'm very interested in your results. We have a milder, less corrosive environment here and I'm keen on dailying with sphericals.

- ACE 4-2-1 Type-A 350 equal length header (ceramic thermal coated)Like I said in my prior post, once I get the MCS coilovers and spherical bushings installed, I let you know how they work out on a daily driver - wish me luck...

The New Zealand Racing series uses Slicks. Maybe see if you can contact some of them. Though our people running Hankook Z221's probably aren't that far off slicks to be honest in terms of grip.
