Just looks like the car is turning left and the suspension on the close side is compressed. If that is in a straight line, it is definitely lower than my car!

 

I looked into it, and I think that it was just due to the bumpy lot and the car possibly turning. If found another picture from the event, and it looks higher:

The Penske shocks on the car tended to keep the car low, and we it even tended to bottom out on the fenders in the front.

Hello waaaay too much rebound...

 

That was my guess. I only drove the car once a long time ago, as it is my wife's.

 

Yeah for the most part if you run off the shelf Penske's from SRP - you've got about 700lbs of rebound force at 3in/sec on a HALF STIFF setting. Setting it full stiff gets you to 700-800lbs right around 1.5in/sec

How the hell can the suspension even extend if you've only got 650lbs of static corner weight? (read - when you transfer load off that corner to make a turn - its more like 300lbs of load on the tire and the shock is actually compressing the spring...)

 

what specific changes did you feel going to the 1.5way clutch diff?

I love the way my s2k feels under braking, and I generally like open-ish diffs, but I'd like to hear someone's opinion that has experience making the switch.

 

just bought oz 17x8.5's w/ 255's. first STR event will be in a week an a half.

 

This class is shaping up to be pretty stout. Dang....

 

So you ditched AS for STR as well?

 

ight. i definitely have excuses now.
