Ground Control Question...

[shiboujin]

I'm running 650 in the front, 800 in the rear. John, Jay, and Frank(?) have helped me wonderfully! Ground control has such great customer service!

>_< those were the rates I was going for. I just ordered a set for 550 front and 750 rear. (or whatever 10k front and 14k rear is)

I've been running around for a week now in 550/750 with a 22mm front bar and no rear. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but I haven't gotten much of a chance to have fun with it. It's been raining for the last week

And my shitty Nexens haven't had much grip even in the dry.

lol how bad is it?

Do you guys have any weight out of the ass-end of your cars? I had trouble putting power down with 525F and 700R (19mm front bar, no rear). Switched to 600R and I've got a hair of understeer in medium speed turns. The car is 2400lbs, 54/46 wt dist.

On a related note, if anybody has a set of 5" 650lb springs that they want to get rid of let me know.

I have 350whp on 245 width tires out back... yea I have trouble putting power down even with my 500# springs in the back. Then again, I drift. If I floor my car in second (no clutch playing) I break traction. :)

I've got all the trunk tar and carpet/panels out of the trunk, but have left the spare tire. But still a full sport interior, with S52 with no A/C or PS. And I need to get my ride height worked out as well, the rear is sitting much to high in comparison to the front right now, so I suspect getting some more weight over the rear with a more balanced ride height will help as well.

I'm at 230whp and the Nexens aren't putting the power to the ground at all. But I'll wait to pass judgement until I get a set of 235/40/17 in Direzza or NT-05. It's almost no fun as 1st is useless above 3.5k and a hard shift into 2nd will result in wheel spin all the way through 2nd. Cna't wait for some sticky tires.

shiboujin, it's not too bad at all really. I suspect not running a rear bar is helping with ride comfort since they can be independent of each other.

off topic: This is awesome.

[shiboujin]

might take out my rear bar if these springs are that stiffl.

@yberther: It is fun :)
