Track Setups
Loran, Jason and any other track nuts.
I am proceding down the slippery slope of lapping. My question to you all is. Is there a dummies guide to suspension setups. Like if you have Coil Overs are you best to set as low as possible or is balanceing the corner weights is more important ? At the track if the strut valving is adjustable and the back end is lose soften the back and stiffen the front. And so on. Any help is appreciated. |

I wish my coilies were adjustable (compression/rebound) so I could stiffen it up for the track...

here's a good thread:
http://www.microimageonline.com/foru...on-Setup-Guide I personally go for the stiffer the better; currently running 8k front / 10k rear springs and full stiff on the rear shocks when racing. I have very neutral steering and controllable, as shown here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNuCuQxMG6k

Corner weights are important, but don't kill yourself trying to get them perfect, you never will with a solid rear (or beam) axle. Try to get the fronts even with you in the car - also make sure to unhook your front swaybar endlink so there is no preload on the springs when you do it. If the car is loose less rear rebound will help with traction... But I like working on the front instead. Crank in as much front rebound as you can stand. The more you have the quicker it will change directions. Once you get to the point it makes the car understeer back off a bit and work on the rear.
