i think i just killed this thread lol

Ground Control perches
450/375 lb springs
bilstein HD's
FCM bumpers
RB hollow front w/brace
RB solid rear on "soft" setting
lanny's alignment
corner weighted

Stock 1.6 brakes (94whp) with hawk hp+

in the toilet bowl at MSR I was sustaining 1.31 lat G's on Azenis. lol The car is perfectly neutral and I couldn't ask for more out of the suspension. Everyone likes to jock Tein more expensive stuff, but my #'s speak for themselves frankly. Everyone still resists them though for whatever reason.
The only thing I'm going to change is FCM valving when that time comes. Right now the car beats the shit out of me on the street, but its great on the track.

Corner weighting was the best thing I did to that car. The sway bars gave me 1 full second at hallett, the corner weighting gave me 1.5 seconds on average.

Flat as a board but a half inch too low for the vary lip. Always have to remember to stop before the bumpers when I park, found that out the hard way the first time.

why? isn't caster good for road feel and turn-in?

if you don't have power steering its unnecessary heft to the steering and with the rest of that alignment and suspension setup I'm sure he has plenty of feel and turn-in. I think lots of caster can also contribute to bumpsteer, but don't quote me on that.

I'm pretty sure bump steer is exclusively related to ride height.

FM sways (stiff front, soft rear) w/ Advanced Autosports endlinks
Carbotech XP10/8, braided lines, ATE fluid
Toyo T1Rs on stock 14x6 hollow spokes
Alignment named after some guy, forget which one

It's a nice handling street setup with a comfortable ride. As I slowly make it more track worthy, stuff is gradually getting replaced. Brakes were first and I'm really diggin the Carbotechs so far. Coilover sleeves w/ stiffer springs are in the near future.

Alignment:

4* castor.

Car feels suprisingly neutral on track, aside from minor front squat related instability in the breaking zone of one corner, and lifting of a inside tire causing spin in one very tight highload/banked turn when I have race tires on. That will be resolved soon.
