Track Day Chat

///maestro

I've had about 4 track days with the stock rear sway. Car was definitely tail-end happy. Hopefully with a more aggressive alignment and no rear sway, I can keep the rear planted.

On a lighter note, I'm looking to potentially pick up some new Fortune Auto coilovers for next years season. Anyone have recommendations for spring rates? This would be for a track-only car...don't care about daily drivability.

Yeah I was having the same issues. Of course seat time is good for me but I also didnt want to drift.
Also, are you planning on true or OEM rear coils? If so what's your reasoning?

Not sure yet to be honest. Have to see what the benefits are, if any. Fortune auto offers both options.

Fortunate Auto can provide you with either setup. If you go with true type make sure you get the correct spring rates. FA tends to over spring the rear springs for true type set up.

This is not most people's experience with the Z with a straight OEM setup. The Z tends to push or under steer with staggered wheel setup. It could be your alignment but I am more inclined to think it is your steering input without a video that shows your driving input.

Get a good alignment and let your instructor or someone with lots of experience drive your car and get some feedback from them.

Part of the issue is definitely my alignment. Not as aggressive as I want it. I’m bringing my rear sway to my next even and will try a few laps with and without it to see which I like more.


Also - I wanted to see if anyone had any experience with Fortune auto, powertrix, or reinharte on the track?
