i agree with the track / public roads... That's why I test at the track...
so lift the rear a tad and soften it out. at the moment i have the car exactly 25inchs from ground to arch all round mm for mm. will -0.5 camber actually help? thinking about it now that you mention it... when i was taking the corner it was bumpy... do you think because the setup is so stiff the springs didnt have enough time to react ? is that how it works? [QUOTE=phizzle;633948]You want to set the rear swaybar to the middle setting unless you are on a racetrack. You also want to soften the rear bump and rebound settings so that the rear will squat under acceleration slightly. You can aid this by having a "raked" stance which means having the rear sit 0.5 to an inch higher than the front. It's all about weight transfer and dynamics. A little bit of camber is also a good thing but not too much. Just remember (at all times, not just when it's dry), you will have heaps of grip at compared-to-a-commodore insane speeds. It's when you go just that little bit too far or hit a mid bump corner and all hell breaks loose you realise that you are going waaaay too fast to do anything about it. My advice would be do not drive like a cock on public roads. Save it for a track day where you can really exploit the car's abilities and maybe, just maybe, find out what your limits are.[/QUOTE] |

the reviews seem great - can i ask what sort of mileage you have gotten so far on them. i got 36k on the yoko advans i was running which i spose is good for a soft compound. [QUOTE=RichX;633947]Nitto Invo's, great tyre. I ran Falken RT615's before these, and I thought they were total shit compared.

So am I but I have paperwork that says different :D |
If you are loosing traction at 50kmh on a 'bout then there is something wrong. Full stock suspension setups are capable of better.
Nevertheless, sounds like you need to go to a tuning day whenever one is hosted next. The setup should be all good for you after that :) |

- im not sure what you mean.... but anyays doesnt matter...il stay on topic -Nighthawk92 - between the two of you...it seems like i need this track day to sort my problems out. il need to start with softening the rear a little more and maybe raising it half an inch. id prefer not to have it kicking out at the ass...otherwise i woulda bought rwd LOL |

Don't NEED it but it will solve your problem a lot quicker than trial and error whenever you get a chance to test it's capabilities. Otherwise could take up drifting :D |
Be very careful 'drift is addictive'

I prefer over steer to under steer.
Enjoy the ride responsibly in a safe area. |
