Ride Height Recomendations w / GC / Koni
I could use some set up help from the track guys with experience.
My AP1 has GC / Koni coilovers . I'm doing track set up . Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup . Stock swaybar . Car will be driven hard ( 20 yrs SCCA Club Racing experience )
Ground control recomended 475 # Front - 525 # Rear ..... That's where it is now.
This seems backwards ..... With the handling characteristics of our cars I'm thinking 525 # Front & 475 # Rear...... Shocks set full firm front & 1 turn off full soft rear.
I would love to hear the voices of experience comment.
Corner Weights on Friday , I understand that the OEM ride height is 192MM front & 220 rear ( Measured from LCA bolts to ground ) ....... My understanding is that anything lower than 1" from stock will mess up suspension geometry / hit bump stops / ect...... How low should I go ?
I would love to hear some initial ride height experience as well.
This car will see some weekend use and track days.
Other set up thoughts :
- Front Camber @ 1.5
- Front Caster @ 6
- Front Toe @ 1/16 in per side
- Rear Camber @ 2.5
- Rear Toe @ 1/16 in per side
Thanks in advance for your input.
