Track questions with the following set up

[snakey]

I find that the Playstation annoys other drivers during a track session but screw them I get board driving all that time :biggrin:

Don't know about your BBK but I have been in a car with huge front 6 piston brakes and it did FEEL like it was slowing faster but all it was really doing was making the front end dive. Hopefully you have a brake bias control lever or knob if you have the stock rear calipers?

All the rest like sways, non compliance parts are a feeling up to you and the search here on Prime will tell you. If it can be done somebody has and posted about it :wink:

Whooo...........missed the wheels.........search for a set of stock NO won't fit your BBK..........

Try to find a 17x8, 17x9 or 17x8, 18x9 combo with a good set of tires for the track. 18,19s are slow, slower, slowest :wink:

With you running the "Basch Boost" what computer are you running? Myself being one of the many blowing up the motor on a track day. Run a well tuned car AEM or AEM FIC and add an Accusump with a baffled pan if your track has any banking. You'll thank me later.

yeah, first thing first, the tires had to go. If you for some reason like to spend a little less money, at least get the spt for front and back. Ultimately, you need a set of max. performance summer tires, (do a search.)

but then eventually you will need to go 17/18 set up and get a set of nice R compound tires for optimum grip...

maybe ditching the playstation and subs.

With my old setup, I also have Tein RA, I liked to adjust it all the way to stiffest. (maybe 1-2 click back on the front.) Seems the damper is under-damped the spring rate. But then I still have OEM sways on both end.

hope it helps.

I also had my teain RA adjust to stiffest and the 2 back...This was amazingly stable at low speeds. But I noticed at high acelleration ( exp. 70-110 mph blast that the slightest differance in road surface or the slightest pull to the left/right of my hand would be drastic and on a few instances actually put me in a differant lane) this was pretty scary..

I put her to max and then around 5 clicks back and the problem went away and the handling was still 90% their at lower speeds.

Has the tein RA proven to be a good investment over stock at the track???

brand new at around $2500, maybe not anymore. You couldn't get them anyway, they make Tein monoflex is pretty good. I say if you want to keep it under $3500, you may want to wait and see if the KW V3 worths it. For now, maybe a R suspension, or used set of comptech pro.

By the way I never had the experience you had with the Tein RA, right up to the point of one totally fail shocks, it still performing alright wtih me. I suspected your car had more alignment problem than a defected shock.

You are probally right. I had the vehicle raised an inch as the seller had it slammed to the ground and I was scraping everything
