  2. Coilover settings & Swaybars (ARB)

    in Suspension

    Posted

    Needs to change to what??

     

    These are the setting your suggested previously to me: -

     

    Front

    Camber: - 1

    Toe : + 10' per wheel

     

    Rear

    Camber: - 1.45'

    Toe : +15'

     

    Would the rear not be better to toe in slighty?? I have driven the car with Toe out and it was very twitchy

  3. Frame Rigidity

    Sorry, bit late with a reply, but what your saying really is, an overly rigid frame will cause the suspension problems in absorbing anything the road throws at it and may become dangerous??

     

    If this is the case, how far should are mainly road car go with rigidity?? I.e. Coilovers, ARB's (swaybars) strut braces, under body braces, roll cage etc ...

  4. Toe and 'Drift'

    I know a few people on both Driftworks and SXOC who are into Drifting, from speaking to them i would vote for Toe out as it would make the car more responsive to turn in and direction change.

     

    This is how i understand it, but admitedly my knowledge is limited, i have tryed drifting a couple of times and have been told for a beginer i am quite good, however i am held back on holding the drift for any length of time by my Diff, but that is another discussion. ;)

  5. Coilover settings & Swaybars (ARB)

    Hi Guys ;)

     

    I breifly spoke to Tony re possible suspension settings for my Coilovers.

     

    I am looking for a fast road setup with the odd trackday thown in, although mostly road driving. I have coilovers fitted and was thinging about the following alignment settings: -

     

    Front

    Caster PS +7.5 / DS +7.0

    Camber -1.10 to -1.30

    Toe 0

     

    Rear

    Camber -1.05 to -1.15

    Toe 0

     

    Any views on these??

     

    Also, i drive alot of bumpy and uneven roads, and being in Scotland, they are regularly wet also, up to this Friday i can get a set of Whiteline Swaybars at a discounted price but having read up and asked Whiteline about the use of these for my application i have been slightly put off. Do you guys think these would be a good addition in my quest for a good setup?? When i say good, i mean better than my current huge amount of Neg camber which causes serious traction issues......

     

    Sorry for the long 1st post, got a bit carried away :lol:

     

    Cheers

     

    P.s. The above relates to a Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R
