You can definitely go a few clicks softer on both rebound and compression for the street. Softer on rebound makes a large difference in ride. - Andrew |

Thanks @cjd and Andrew. For the T2's, would the top mounts be chosen depending on how the car changes due to the rest of the changes to; bushings, splitter-diffuser and grip from the 9" square setup? |

They would be selected based on how much camber you want. Can you get your desired camber with bolts? Then you don't need top mounts. Beyond that, RCE makes their own, Velox makes great ones, RaceSeng makes the only ones with adjustable caster.

4 contact patches has the potential for higher level of grip than just 3. |

Your error is in ignoring inertia effects on tire loading which in turn affect total grip available. Just consider how aerodynamic downforce can seemingly create tire grip out of thin air and that may help. |

I believe what Tokay444 is alluding to is this:
Ideally you'd have 4 evenly loaded tires, but then you'd just be driving in a straight line. - Andrew |

It is ridiculous to argue that 3 tires have more grip potential than 4 though.

Even if you have an awd car and even in a straight line you cannot achieve equal grip from all four tires. "Weight transfer" (unfortunately named as no weight moves) means it is impossible to obtain usable equal grip from four tires. But you know that, if you're a suspension supplier. |

The thing is these are passenger cars, not purpose built race cars. Put on sticky tires and go driving on the track and wheels might come off the ground here and there. It happens because all the weight has been transferred to the other corners. Even if the tire was still on the ground, it couldn't contribute much cornering force because there is no weight on it.
So if you want to keep the tires on the ground, you can go around corners slower. Or, widen the track, lower the car, lighten the car. And then no, there's not one ideal damping curve for a specific spring rate. or even a specific car. It's always a compromise- a higher damping ratio tends to improve performance on smoother surfaces, a lower damping ratio improves comfort. There's never one set curve that will work for every surface or driver and also it depends on the tire as well. So those adjustment knobs actually are pretty useful.
