This is my setup right now and now that I have come to learn how to drive this setup to its full potential I no longer feel the need to change my suspension at all. I would be upset right now if I had to change it, when I start driving this car hard now its like I am with an old friend.
Mazdatrix Front camber plates Racing beat front and rear sway bars KYB- AGX Shox 4 way front 8 way rear Racing Beat rear toe eliminator Mazdatrix rear camber link Ground Control coilovers 250# rear 400# front I have it dialed in like this: Shox front 2 rear 4 Camber -1.5° all around Caster 5° Toe 1/8" per side toe out - Front 1/16" toe in rear Tire pressure on my slicks 27 lbs from 32 lbs rear. I discovered the staggered tire pressure trick about 3 years ago. By adding 5 lbs to the rear it helps make the car rotate better, you have to use your right foot a lot like this but the switch between understeer and oversteer is under your right foot. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.gif |
I forgot to mention do not run a staggered setup. I have tried running wider in the rear with much frustration. These cars really like the same tire all around.
I run 10" wide slicks all around but also have a set of 245 wide Hoosier DOT Autocross tires as well and it handles just the same. When I run wider rear it becomes an under steering monster. I run this on the street and every time I try to run my street setup in an AX it under steers really bad. |

I wasn't planning on buying a dedicated auto x tire set https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/wacko.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.gif |
