tacker Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Righto if you look at the pic of my car you can see the inside rear is just about in the air and i think that is not helping with naff all grip during mid corner. Now what do i need to stop that from taking place?? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/190176-whoo-hoo-almost-famous/#findComment-3426023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 what kind of rear sway bar are you running? and what dampers/springs? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/190176-whoo-hoo-almost-famous/#findComment-3426071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacker Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have done the alloy bushes in the rear sub frame if that a pineapple The sway bars back and front are Cusco items 30mm rear and 24mm front the shocks are Japanese Ohlins non adjustable front and rear. The spring rates are 7.1kg/mm front and 6.6 kg/mm rear. And thanks for the time to help this poor old punter out.

Beer Baron Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 it's possible the bars are too stiff and causing it to lift wheels. if you can be arsed it could be worth testing out some different combos if you still have your stock bars. some heavier springs may cure it too. from what I've seen the tracks there look very smooth, so you could certainly go much higher in both front and rear spring and maybe downsize the bars a bit. providing the dampers can cope of course.

260DET Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 A couple of race pics show the car kneeling over on the front outside. That could cause it to lift the inside rear. Normally I'd say it needs a heavier front ARB, perhaps heavier front springs or lighter rears.

tacker Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Seems that the heavier front springs and suitable dampers may be the first combo to try a few other have recomended that be the first area to try and improve.

tacker Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 trouble is the bloody thing sneaked past me as i was happly understreering through the last corner LOL. My old car is quicker in a straightline but he can get me under brakes and through corners as i cant hit them as hard with semi's as i could with slicks which appear to be hiding the fact the car was not as well sorted as i thought it was. Gunna be gettin me some of them michlin pilot cup sports as well, same as the GT2 taking that part of the problem away.

hrd-hr30 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 if your car is already understeering, I wouldn't go with harder front springs or bars. that will only make the understeer worse. You might be better off looking at front roll couple to reduce front body roll without altering spring rates. And roll axis inclination which could be causing the excessive yaw which leads to the inside rear lifting.
