G37 Track Set Up. Oversteer Help.

2.2Lude

These Coilovers are designed for street comfort so that does make a lot of sense. Problem is even when I brake earlier and the car is more settled before turn in the car still oversteers.

Yeah I know the SPL's are the be all end all but they're just extremely overkill for my use case. The car is a daily that I want to use to get better as a driver on the track with. I've spoken with a few guys that race in a Nissan series in Socal that use these arms(modded) with good results. I'm not building a race car so I don't think mind giving up caster adjustment and spherical bearings/joints for cost/comfort. Basically trying to build a well balanced car.

With that said I'm not adverse to stepping up the spring rates a little to get off the bump stops if that is what's going on in the rear here.

Thanks for the insight! I will say that when I was on stock sport springs and shocks with square 245/45's and the Eibach front bar the car didn't feel as lively as it does now. I had much less experience then though and couldn't really "feel" what the car was doing + my pace was much slower.

I'll try and see if I'm hitting the bump stops in the rear as you suggested when I get some time or during my next track day.

The car snap oversteers at T10 at Laguna a lot lol.

I've attached images of the rear suspension to see if it helps any. The rear springs are progressive from the looks of it and rear shock body is shorter with what appears to be more travel. I also keep the rear at max ride height allowed which equated to around G2F 26.75". I'd like to go higher but that is max adjustment available.

I'm sorry that's ********. You can't post in the track section asking for advice about suspension and then NOT get SPL stuff because you're worried about cost comfort. The only reason not to use the best arms available is if you're in a racing series that specifically prohibits it

YOU CAN TOTALLY DAILY A CAR WITH SPL ARMS - i dont know where the stupid assumption that adding spherical arms will suddenly make your car unlivable come from

spring rate/damping and tires have a far bigger effect on how your car will feel


your sensibilities are way too soft. if you want a car that actually is trackworthy, get over your ******** and do it right
without proper alignment capability, you're wasting your ******* time

why bother coming here asking for help if you're gonna turn it all down because you wanna half *** this ****? Why are you wasting money on track time at all if you aren't even going to do something as simple a real coilovers and alignment?

this is sad

Not sure why you are soo worked up.
Read my replies I'm clearly not "asking for advice and turning it all down". Slapping everything SPL on to my car isn't going to magically solve my issues.
Of'course there is a cost to benefit factor everyone has to consider. I mean I guess if $$ isn't an issue then yeah by all means go nuts with some JRZ's or other high end suspension system.

Aside from the FUCA's I can achieve my desired alignment spec's with the cars factory equipment.

Nearly any set of FUCA's will get me to my desired -2.5 degree's of camber up front. I understand the drawbacks to non-SPL or Voodoo arms and those compromises are ones I'm willing to live with for a car that see's daily duties and 10ish track days a year. I'm not competing or building a race car, just something that is comfortable for me on the street with enough track-ability to help me improve as a driver.

In the rear my ride height doesn't necessitate any additional arms or SPC toe bolts to get to the spec's I want. Yes eccentric bolts aren't the most reliable and can slip, I'm aware of that. In the future if I find my alignment changing I'll address it. For now I've not had any issues.

It is your opinion but I'm not wasting my time/money on seat time just because I'm not willing to go SPL everything and switch coilovers. I'm very open to switching coilovers, upping my current rates, or going to back to the stock set up in order to identify and solve my problem.

In any case if you think I'm wasting my time and yours please see yourself out of this thread.
