Along those lines and not to hijack your thread ..............
I have noticed that with the Type R braces, Comptech sway bars full stiff on the front and middle hole in the rear, in relatively cool ambient temps (60s), Bilstein/OEM springs, OEM street tires running hot at 33/40, OEM alignment, I am having some push or understeer at the track; even taking slightly later apexes I am finding the need to lift momentarily at track out to avoid running out of track.
I give the details of the mods because (a) the mods/set-up make a differnece in answering the question, and (b) while watching NASCAR's Daytona race, I was trying to understand the commentary whenever they made a reference to what adjustments were made to the cars that had a push. They most often focused on sway bar adjustments and tire pressure on the rear outside tires but rarely gave insightful information, as in: did they lower the tire pressure by 0.25 psi, did they loosen the sway bar when they said it was adjusted ..........
So, my thinking is this: given how stiffer the front of "my set-up" is now compared to the rear, this set-up may be better with track tires than street tires. Until I get my track tires, I am thinking of stiffening the rear sway bars to full stiffness to induce a little more oversteer and hence have better throttle steer, or reduce the stiffness of the front sway bar to the middle hole. I am thinking the sway bar adjustments are more effective than lowering the rear tire pressure at the speeds that we are going; with street tires with good tread, the rears are getting about 8 psi when hot.
It is my understanding than in warmer weather, the same set up that worked well in cooler temps as say neutral, will now induce oversteer due to the tires performance. Not sure why if the tire temps are adjusted to keep the same operating temps on the track.
Comments appreciated.
