The Tein monos dont have individual bound/rebound settings. And the springs in the rear are actuallt the springs that came installed in the fronts. So they are pretty stiff haha.

And its not such an easy thing to adjust on the inverted mono tube design. The adjuster is on the bottom of the coilover and way up inside the strut foot, above the rear driveshaft/cv.

Softening the rear up is on my to-do list since back at RAC days. Ive had a brand new set of Swift springs waiting for instal since back then aswell. Just gotta pull my finger out haha.

I softened mine after the march sprint at mplex was night and day difference at busselton weight was trasfering very well and i had zero understeer issues !..


Not sure how ur teins are but my coilovers have spring height adjustment as well as the lower foot is adjustable .. i dropped the springs down till the seat just held tension on at full drop and then wound the foot till the car sat at same height as bwfore

You should try setting your coilovers up like this.

Looking back at the time slips...

My best 60' all night was 1.715s. And it would have possibly been even quicker than my best run if i didnt fark it up. Maybe even all 11.xx. I remember that run as that was against a pretty quick white GC. And i missed a gear shift and then backed off crossing the line at only 97kmh and taking 16+ seconds LOL. It would have been interesting if it was a smooth run with a 1.715 second 60 footer. Not too far off a 1.6s 60', and that was with the current setup.

And my best trap speed all night was 191.32 kmh. That was on a 12.148 second run.
