I'm sure it will.
255's is not what I'm looking to get though, I think 235's might be better matched for what I want for the car. Right now I have a very slight push

Just in case you forgot or didn't know. 9 inch wheel is max for the STR class. Not sure if your building the car to that class or to any class...

macr88

nope, I build it the way I want it, if rules don't allow it then I move to the next class or whatever class does. I auto x to better my driving in a safe place and get an overall comparison.

I had to run STX in my camry because of my brakes so I'm familiar with not having a class competitive car or parts that offer a disadvantage


These things don't happen quickly for me so the diff and tires will most likely be years away.
I tend to keep cars for a little while so I'm in no rush

I didn't see it anywhere, but what are these shops or Bilstein charging to custom revalve a non-adjustable unit like the PSS these days?

INTJ, you mention COB, digressive valving on pg. 5. Did you have that re-valve from Bilstein?

chetly

Usually they get anywhere from $100-$150 per corner for a revalve.


Contact Guy... He's good.

I'm sure he is but what brought you to this conclusion.

chetly

The amount of SCCA Auto-x National Championship winning drivers that he's done work for...

And he kicked our ass by over a second at the last auto-x

macr88

Unless the times are wrong, it shows him at a 46.386 and me at 47.389
I don't doubt he's good or that he does fantastic work but can you really compare that car to mine? and then the level of driver. It's like saying Bryan H beat me in his stock S, he must do good work on his stock shocks.

chetly

it's that last sec that's going to be hard to get though. Ive seen cars that run at a certain time, and then with a revalve that he's done and no other changes to the car gain a half second or more. Not saying its impossible to do without his tuning, but I do see his tuning as being an advantage with all things considered.

I'll be driving Guy's car and my own over the 4th of July weekend, so i'll be able to tell the difffernce between the 2 cars. For what its worth, at the last event in marina, I got 1 run in his car with cold tires and went 4 tenths fast than i did with my car, same wheel and tire n both cars, only difference being shocks and swaybar.

INTJ

I was looking at Macr88's work and wondered if we could get an advantage to just swapping out springs street and track, using the cobb to give more ramp. The roads are rough here and I want a little bleed but good control. I haven't bought the shocks. Almost got a cheap set of Ohlins, but they have the single control for both reb and comp.
