Anyone want to measure at the top of the fender openings? It seems so much simpler..
This all explains why i hate the handling of my car too recently, especially after the GT3 swaybars I guess i need to raise it, its damm low!

Well, since my objective is best track handling I just pulled the trigger on ordering the entire MOTON suspension set up, Viper Bob will be doing the install, then off to corner balance. Then I'm done thinking about the suspension (for now) tom

Motons
KPV:

This thread was pivotal when I decided to change from PSS9's to MOTONS.

TOM

You will really like the MOTONS for the track. I spent a day just trying out the diff compression/rebound settings and getting a feel for them. What spring rates are you going for ?

according to this thread, you really can't lower the car much on pss9 and expect good results...

I deleted my post/note above as Mike's car seems lower than GT2.

He has PSS9's.



Jeff



PS: for the record, JIC's allow full gt2 setup without any issues......as do jrz's and moton's. Kw's do too I think, but I am unsure.

I'm also running less than optimal camber, at 1.5 negative front and 2.0 negative rear. I'm using KR adjustable sway bars with upgraded drop links, and plan to go to GT3 lower contol arms and upgraded toe links to get the amount of camber I truly need to really ZING!

That said, there are a number of people poo-pooing PSS9s and I really wonder why, based on the luck I've had with mine...

Obviously this guy sat in the front row in class and did his homework. Very detailed, but understood by us non aerospace engineers. Thanks
