comparing suspension set-ups, 3rd gen to 4th gen Options

[98_LS1]

I own a 98 Z-28 as well as a 87 camaro that has a decked out suspension from Spohn, anyway, when it comes to handling the 87 does extremely well but it has problems sticking to pavement in a corner, it always breaks the tires even under light acceleration. My 98 does not do this at all, it dead hooks and launches, why? Is it the Mcpherson strut front suspension that holds me back or do I need to lower the car some more and run stickier tires? As ya'll know I'm building this car for road racing so explain to me what I need to do in order to be better than the 98, thanks

It seems like you've just been bolting parts on rather then getting out for some track time to see what needs to be replaced.

Which tires break loose? I'm assuming the rear in the rest of the paragraph.

Which Spohn LCAs did you go with? If it is the poly/poly ones, there's probably your first problem. They'll bind up in the turn. Next, if you got a bigger rear sway bar, that could be your problem.

I pitted for a few AI guys this weekend and it's amazing to see how many stock parts are still on the car. Stock LCAs, stock front A-arms, V6 rear sway bar, 36mm WS6 front sway bar, Ground Control springs and weight jacks all the way around, Koni Yellows, and an adjustable PHB round it out.

I'd probably try going back to the stock rear sway bar first, then LCAs if it's still twitchy.

What tires are you running BTW?
