Keep in mind this is NOT a dedicated track car, it is a full on street car( I long hauled the Power Tour with it, and may do it again) that gets track day'd.
Keep in mind, I did my first event with a good seat in the car and it was very cold 45* high. Dunno if this was the reason for the push or not but I pushed the car further than I ever have that weekend as it was much easier to drive it hard. I have Strano springs, 1 LE front bar, stock rear bar, Koni Da on front SA on rear, UMI rotojoints on rear, LCA relocation brackets. UMI frame connectors. I am debating going after more grip. Since I put a seat in the car I realize whats going on with the car when you push it hard. 275 NT-01/ R888 vs a 315 NT-05, I am looking at cost, I have 2 sets of 17x9.5 wheels. If I move to a 315 I will have to buy all new wheels/spacers/studs and consider wheel bearing wear. The 315 NT-05 is a cheaper tire than the 275 NT-01 or R888 and will last longer I would think. Thoughts on which has more grip and life? I have noticed a push, it has always had one but now seems much worse on high speed corners . More rear bar help this? More camber help this? Am I trying to enter the corner with too much speed? I only have 1.1 camber in the front as thats all I can get with stock stuff....I am killing the left front outer edge of the tire. If I slot the lower control arm holes will I have enough tie rod end to set toe? They look way out now. Would you buy offset LCA bushings and slot, or one or the other? Or buy a shorter upper control arm? I feel I need at least 1.8 camber but how will this effect street tire wear? Anyone used the Global West front lower control arm bushing kit? Thoughts? Thanks guys all opinions welcome. |
