25639, Let's talk handling perfection (Gurus welcomed)
Posted by Max_96_GS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
I have not really seen any topic of this sort, so I decided to start one.
On practical side and remaining a budget(most of us are), for a daily driven 2gnt, the perfect performance oriented suspention set-up would be:
1)A good set of Springs(Eibach,prokit/H&R Race spring)
2)Performance shocks(tokiko Illuminas/ Bilstein)
3)Sway bars(RMDSM or any adjustable one)
4)Tie bars F/R Upper/lower
5)Poly-urethane bushing set(Energy supention)
6)A good set of perfomance tires(z-rated with lowest trade wear possible to your liking)
7)$15 camber kit mod for near-stock height springs(aftermarket camber for anything lower)

Now,there is two schools of tought: A) Soft springs and big sway bars. B)Hard springs with soft bars.In my opinion,I would on a 2gnt go for softer springs(eibachs pro kit)and big bar(RMDSM). Some of you guys probably think the Rmdsm is two hard and still induce some understeer, but I experienced it and went away(more neutral balance) with setting the front shocks softer and the rear ones rock hard.
Soon, I am going to try matching an adjustable front bar (set on soft) with the rmdsm in the back, to see how it behaves. Another un-neutral characteristic on the way of reaching handling nirvana is that Several 2gnt I drove showed signs of unbalanced cross weight. What I mean is that some 2gnt, like right turns more than left ones or vice versa. This problem is due to uneven weight distribution on the Right-front/Left-back compared to Left-front/right back. One of my future projects is to weight the car with me in it on all four side and see how practically possible it is to remove or shift weights, so I could correct any imbalance.I'm waiting to hear any input, suggestions and different views from this terrific board cauz at the end we'll all benefit.

It's ignorance to think you know it all
