Suspension Settings...
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:10 pm
I have been thinking about it for a while, and I came up with such idea... This site is and has been great for it's users sharing their knowledge and experience with others, and how about a talk strictly devoted to the way, we set our cars so we can pull as much lat. G's as we can with our transaxle alfas. I' know that it's often of personal preference the car behaves but we can all agree, that gtv6 that scrubs it's side mirrors when cornering isn't going to make good times on track rignt? I just thought it would be very useful to store that knowledge in one topic so it could be easily found and analysed at any time
Since I'm a newbie racer, and I just have recently brought my car to the point, that it can be more or less properly set for cornering, I wonder what you think abut this setup:
Car: GTV6
Engine/power: 2,5 so far stock'ish
Weight:~1100kg
Wheels/Tyres: 215/45 R17 semislick
Spring rates:
Front: 160N/mm
Rear: 70N/mm
30mm adjustable front AR bar
Stock rear AR bar
Front static camber: 3-3,5 degree?
Caster/CastOr 8 deg?
Toe out front 1 mm?
I'm not touching the de Dion at the moment, but planning camber and toe ofc.
Soooo... how bad/good is it as a settings for starters?
