Any experiences with track setup of adjustable coilovers. Full hard front and rear or something diferent? Thanks!

 

Depends on the track, tires, how you drive, weather conditions, etc.

For the most part I tend to set the rear a touch harder than the front in order to induce a bit of oversteer vs. understeer.

 

Also depends on the coilover....settings are completely subjective unless you have a shock dyno.

What i mean is that the range of the front damper is likely very different then the rear....so setting 5 on the front coilover is rarely the same as setting 5 on the rear damper.

Tune the front to feel good, then tune the rear to feel good, then look at the complete picture. Full stiff likely is not the answer.

I have yet to hit the track with my new coilovers, but, from my journey to get to where I am now, you are going to want the rear to be a touch harder than the rear as a starting point. However, that does not necessarily mean your dampers should be firmer. I am setting my car to AMS's specs, so take that for what its worth, but I am setting fronts to 8/10 firmness and rears to 6/10 firmness, but I have 7k springs in front and 9k in the rears. My car will be set up for track biased, but still streetable. Andrew above has the best solution, just play with it and see what you like. Enjoy the process!

Goofy, please share where you got cheap tires! I dont want to drop another 1100 unnecessarily!

 

Local guy here (don@tireoption.com) sells the NT05's in 245/40/18 for $160-165 each. Local club member mounts for $10/tire.

 

When Bryan from JRZ was dialing in the JRZ Trips on my car, we had badass results running some rear biased compression and front biased rebound.

 

Coilovers are KW3. Setup is: Front: Rebound 6 clicks open from hardest. Bump 0,75 turns open from hardest. Rear: Rebound 12 clicks open from hardest. Bump: 1,00 turns open. This is the recomendation from KW to start with. This setup is perfect for the road/streets but to soft for track.
