The camber/caster/toe stuff will help you save tires on the lower car.Leave a comment:

Install a set of Bilstein Sport shocks, a set of H&R Sport springs (Race if you can find or fund a set), a 22/19mm sway set, and call it done. H&R Race (or IE Stage 3) springs will be be a bit much for a daily driver, but if your tolerance for NVH is high they will yield better handling.Leave a comment:

Weekend racer......suspension?
I posted this in a different category but wasn't getting any answers, maybe I can get a few here.
I have read, and read, and read some more on setups.....it hurts my head because most threads turn into a stupid argument. I'm building this so I can do some cone chasing, and maybe even some HPDE events if there close. I don't really have the funds right now to build a spec 30 and travel around and there's enough stuff around here to keep me busy until school is over.
I have extensive fabrication abilities, been welding for a long time. I was thinking about building my own coilovers in the front with Billie sports, possibly Koni adjustables if I can land a good deal. and in back, do the 82-02 camaro KYB adjustables. What do you think I should do for rear springs? I was going to see if I could pick up some "lightly" used H&R's. Possible try my hand at modifying some adjustable spring mounts I have for height adjustment.
This all being said, I'm here to learn, if something looks off tell me why, don't give me some butt hurt BS on why it's a stupid idea and walk away. Keep in mind my use of the vehicle. I want to be able to tool around town, but have it usable for light track use as well.
Thanks for reading!Tags: None
