Is it the picture or do you have positive camber in the rear? Anyway, it looks as though the front has a bunch more than the rear.

 

drilled rotors?

 

I'm not so worried about that...got any pictures of the car jacked up so we can see if it's got enough droop travel?

Scott, who likes the look of low black kaa's...though low Championship White kaa's look pretty good too...

 

what about a low purple car witha a 1.5L

See how it works: post a picture of your car and everyone gets to make comments on how it should be set up. And it's all freeeeeeeeee.

 

I can tell just by looking that it doesn't have enough preload.

Scott, who is just trying to be friendly in the H-T way...

Preload and Droop are extremely complicated, and it's no wonder so many racers get confused.

I myself have spent considerable time with the car on jackstands studying steady state droop. And I haven't even begun to try to understand transient droop response.

But, all that aside, many just go ahead and put the car on the track with accidental or random droop settings - some get lucky, and some...well, not so lucky. And either way, without knowing the real story, they might just as well be praying to the aliens.

Camber F -3.4 R -1.8
Coming to the track?

&gt;Drilled rotors?: for weight savings. I shaved off nearly 1Lbs and Im outbraking most people at the track with no brake fade at all (Endless CCX)+stock bias and the brake balance is perfect.
Going to the track?

&gt;Seriously flip those. Soon.
Why! this is a track car only. Do you know how hard this is to drive on the streets with 16Kg Front Pillow mount Aragosta coilovers and a 1 way Cusco LSD, No firewall insulation and an engine damper. The ES100 are 55 which adds a bit of cushion (no trailer) Azenis where cheap, only reason I got em.
+ these are not my track tires, which are F 225 32 offset AO32 R205 45offset AO32

&gt;I can tell just by looking that it doesn't have enough preload.
Im using a short stroke damper in the rear with a spacer, 6" swift 17Kg spring. Ive been trackin this car since '95 and the car is very well balanced. The springs are preloaded, theres almost no travel with the short damper which suits this chassis and my driving really well.
Going to the track?

Had the front bumper repainted with only 2 track events since. The whole bumper was stripped and lower section trimmed to save 1.8 Lbs.

I'm just curious, how are you measuring this? (not the lbs, the "outbraking" part)
And, no, I'm not going to the track this weekend.

Nice DA.

 

Thanks for replying to my post.

Referencing cones for braking, some drivers use that as a guide. Its easy to tell if your trailing someone and they brake and then you brake 2-3 meters later. Thats not to say Im braking later than everyone, as the guy in the 2200Lbs civic behind me can go in hotter than I can, but you get the idea.
I used to use Hawk blues, but with the Endless CCX's I can brake an extra couple meters over those. Especially at high speeds.

I liked better this way with the **** front, but I had about 3 layers of paint on it at this time.
