Re: Track Wheels and setup?

I considered buying some Mugen N-1's since that is what a lot of racing ITR's use, but when I looked at the spring rates typically used with these dampers, I figured the setup would be murder on the street when driving to the track. I am using Advance Design coil-overs which were valved for springs in the range of 450 lb to 750 lbs. I am experimenting with spring rates, feeling that higher is better for the track but gets worse and worse on the long drives back and forthe from the tracks. I would imagine best fro track is 800f/1200r, but I think I will stick with a target of 600f/900r as a max. for next year maybe.

I use a Skunk 2 A-arm set in the front and Ingalls upper toe link in the rear with poly bushings. I am very happy with both, and I can easily get camber in the range of -3 deg. or more I think. I am now running -2.3 deg., with close to zero toe front and rear, but I am experimenting here also.
When it feelsa good, throttle!!
