Be interesting to see how this plays out...hopefully i'll get back to the track next year. Car has changed so much though that its going be a completely new learning experience at PR.

If we had infinite cash and time it would be interesting to see if a combination of lowering the back spring rates while also lowering the front rates so that the ratio is closer with that same rear sway would work better than just changing the rear sway and then adjusting the back bump rates to compensate.

I just bought Robispec KWv3's (clubsport, the springs are 8k/9k (F/R)), 26mm rear sway bar, F camber plates, and Whiteline F roll center kit. He recommends setting the bar to the 2nd from softest setting. Hopefully this will offset the somewhat higher (than stock) front to rear spring rate ratio and load up the rear enough to dial out the understeer. But it does seem to be a rather large dia bar.
And I have to buy another set of track tires.

Codgi the APS isn't that loud really. I mean its a good amount louder than stock but I believe its maybe a touch quieter than the Forge.

Fair enough. I'll see how it goes I guess probably pick it up later in the year. I have the Apex'i induction box right now and that did make the Forge a lot less muted so we will see how it does with the APS.Originally Posted by importjake00
The APS is pretty loud with the ARC intake box, but other than that it is really quiet

No stock? Or is that what 17.5 represents? Do they run by ROAR/IFMAR rules?Originally Posted by Bora

The roll center kit is nice. If i get back out next year maybe i'll get one of you guys drive my car and i'll get another evaluation of its handling from someone else.Originally Posted by aeroweenie

yes 17.5 is considered the stock class. ROAR rules apply in some area's such as ROAR approved motors but we don't require specific tires.Originally Posted by codgi

You can read more about the rules and classes here:Fantasy World Club Site
It isn't a pretty site but it does the job.
