Thanks for the inputs keep them coming LOL, I need to order ASAP. My whole suspension has been upgrade to SPL, all bushings and every possible SPL link etc.

I currently run whitelines front and rear but like Clint said, I will be playing with other sway bars etc.

Thanks again!

But more so speaking on the rear

Just chiming in that the split seems very narrow and if I were going to drop JRZ money, I'd get corner weighted and do the math on what spring rates you should actually start with.

As far as rear area reinforcement.. here's what I did:

Well we're tracking off-topic a bit now, but... the ends on those bars at the shock towers, are they just welded plates onto the body near the tower top, or is there something deeper going on there? Not that I plan to do any of this myself, but I like to have some idea what I'm talking about when I find someone to do the work.

It's also interesting that your main hoop is just behind that stock low horizontal support part. I've seen pics with it just in front of that, or welded straight onto the top of it for a shorter hoop, but I hadn't ever considered putting it behind like that. Might leave more room for seat/harness mounting/adjustment, too.

so you'd say both, more front rate AND less rear.

I actually have a stiffer front bar in my garage i was going to let martin test on to see how he liked the setup (its inbetween the whiteline and the hotchkis in stiffness)

Again, the rear rate being "high" is in preperation for a large rear wing setup, and to go with a softer rear bar

They're welded through the first layer into the second. There's some sealant between the two layers, we went through that.

The main hoop is in the same position on most of the cages I've seen, I think?

It's where it is on mine out necessity, my seat is within 3 inches of the hoop, as I've got it mounted pretty far back. Idea was to move my weight as far rearward as I could. I may end up needing to re-locate the pedals and wheel a bit rearward, but in the street driving I've done so far with the chair in the current position, it seems okay.

Btw guys, i think the rear tower reinforcement discussion is good and fine in this thread, since most race coilovers for the 370 go to traditional coilover design, the info is relavent

BJ, does conti make you guys run a square setup?

They're 245/275 IIRC.

Dwnshift 08-06-2013 10:21 PM

245/275 Conti DoTs

ChrisSlicks 08-07-2013 07:20 AM

The conti's don't have the DOT stamp but they are the Hoosier R6 DOT compound, yet a few pounds lighter thanks to a thinner carcass.

martin82 08-07-2013 01:25 PM

The JRZ's have been ordered should arrive in about 2 weeks and if everything goes well they will be tested at Auto Club Speedway on Sept 8th, then on the 14th for Redline Time Attack.

Rusty 08-07-2013 03:41 PM

In for details. I'm heading in this direction myself. :D

Hey Martin, I don't know if you have ridden in Len's 350, but I know he runs 15K springs up front on a Moton suspension-not sure what he runs in the rear. He is deployed somewhere in BFE right now but you might be able to facebook him. If you go with 15k's I hope you already have another car for DD or you are gonna break your *** driving through LA.

clintfocus 08-09-2013 02:36 PM

because of the wishbone suspension motion ratio, the effective spring rate is less then the springs actual rating, also the Z is has a significant amount of weight and grip potential up front so i think the springs in the low to mid teens kg wise isnt bad
