I think I am regretting my spring selection

cossie1600

Oem type n 12k springs I think


Corner balance and alignment tomorrow

B

The car definitely handles better, but not sure how it translate once you apply the clock. The back end also seems to slide out a little more than before. I have to make sure I get used to it

Alignment specs? I doubt it's perfect first time out with heigh and settings and such. It'll come.

Won't know until tomorrow, I haven't driven the car since I finished two days ago.

Too stiff could also cause the back end to slide out as well. Maybe your rear end is heading in the wrong direction as far as spring weight?

It feels like there is not enough transfer to the rear. When I step on the gas, I feel like the back end wants so step out where the oem suspension will squat and light up the inner rear. Of course it is too early to say, I will update saturday

More weight transfer to the back = less front rebound.

Adding a wing back there will definitely help push it down as well once you are at higher speed, but yeah rebound will be a better adjustment below 60 mph. If your front rebound is already at its lowest setting, then softer springs in the rear if it's too loose.

You can also bump up rear rebound and/or drop rear compression, but going up in rear rebound can cause jacking, and make the car push after progressively loaded turns (spring won't return sufficiently). I would try front rebound first, then drop rear spring or bar if that doesn't work.

Fuk somehow dropping half inch in the rear requires me to have camber arms I have 2.5 degree now wtf

synolimit

Lol, stocks -1.9 on my drivers side. Not surprised. Sucks we have to buy all this crap after we just bought the big ticket items but a least now you know some what why your rear end is lose.

my kind of ******* luck. memory card crashed and now I cant pull the data from Saturday. Anyone know of a good memory card recovery program? Most are looking at jpg files, I need it to put up some custom database in dbn format.

thanks

cossie1600

I was able to recover some of the files. I learned that I actually went a few tenths slower with the coilovers than I did with the stock suspension. Since all my datalogs are gone, I can't pinpoint exactly as to what became slower. From what I can see, it seems like I just had trouble picking up power out of the turns. It might have to do with the extra camber I got from lowering the car, but it's tough to say to be exact. The weather was also 5 degrees cold in December than November. Still, for $2K the coilover doesn't appear to be worth it (I still cant figure out how that is true given how much nicer the car feels). I also had the suspension on 5/8s stiff compare to full stiff, the car ended up being one sec plus slower. I am going back inFebruary, probably going back with new sway bars. Hopefully I can do better.

i think your rear rates are too stiff
