I am just trying to get a little insight about your most recent race setups. Also a little description of the handling characteristics of your setup.

Please list:

1. Model of car
2. Toe
3. Camber
4. Spring rates
5. Rebound settings
6. Bound settings
7. Brief description of handling characteristics of your setup

I'll start:

1. 99 Civic Si
2. 0 front and rear
3. 1.2 front, 0.5 back
4. 380 front, 200 back
5. 1.5 turn front and back on Koni Sports
6. None
7. Open diff so on minor on throttle push, with gentle off throttle oversteer.


Thanks,
CB

me too!

Thanks,

Ive got a question about the Zeal B2...

-i heard that zeal b2 are rebound and compression adjustable but both are controlled with the same control.
-zeal doesnt offer revalving.
-they only offer 2 spring settings. (F.10k R. 6k for street and F.12k R.8k for hard settings)

Right now Im leaning towards some custom Eibach ERS springs 350 / 400 with a set of koni yellows. they are rebound and compression adjustable with there own controls and they offer revalving.

Anybody got any input on my assesments. This setup is for a 2000 Honda Civic Si.

tell...

 

It's a good setup. Koni's are really nice dampeners. I think 350 might be a bit low for the fronts. Perhaps 400/450.

I think it also depends on your camber settings. If you don't adjust your camber then heavier rear springs are necessary. If you have less negative camber in the back relative to the frontm, then heavier rear spring will really cause rear happy handling.

I not sure just my experience.

2000 Australian TypeR
TOE = out 2mm
Camber=3 '
Spring rates = F-10, R-6
Castor=1.5mm

handling caracteristic= neutral oversteer, car very predictable, I made it rolls because I made my car to suit my favourite track (Phillip Island), track with lots of fast sweeper (1st corner up to 190kph=110mph).

 

I need alittle more info.

tell...

 

i'm starting to see a trend here.

same for me... bone stock!

 

Zeal offers rates from 6kg to 28kg and all of the shocks can be valved for a specific setup. Aggressive valving and high spring rates are recommended for the aluminum body Function S/S6 and above shocks.

'94 JDM GSR
Toe 0/0
camber -2.0/-0.5
Zeal S6 20kg/16kg
R&D settings (max=6) 5/3
ummmm... A032 S compound on the street with boost = a good workout!

Stock suspension except for the 23mm rear sway bar.
Toe-out to the max. limit and still be with-in "spec."

Stock tires =
New tires (205/50/15) = not sure how they will behave on track. (soon to find out)
