Is that one shock on full soft and full hard?

Or two shocks at the same setting?

If it's the first one.. those adjusters don't do very much.

edit: duh. I see the legend now. IMHO, showing full soft and full stiff is a lot more useful than showing two different shocks.

 

Front and Rear shock

 

Also, if those are a front and a rear with close to similar forces, then they are wrong for one (or both) ends of the car.

 

Interesting, mind sharing your thoughts of how you came to that conclusion?

 

I guess I'm assuming here, but desired damping forces are reliant on sprung and unsprung weights along with a bunch of other variable. But its been a while since I really looked into understanding shock dyno values.

 

After finally tracking my car with the ohlins, and having cheap coilovers on my car, as well as riding in other cars with similarly priced options, IMO, the Ohlin's are the only choice in the sub $3000 bracket, especially if the car is also a street car.


The car was flat out hooked up, all weekend. I'm sure the new alignment helped, as well as the top plates for more caster from Dallas. But I got multiple comments and questions about my car's setup from people watching me on track, and see my car staying stable with wheels moving under it soaking up bumps. As well as people talking about bumps in certain turns upsetting their car, and me simply having no idea what they're talking about because my car just wasn't getting upset.


Also my car is still on stock sway bars front and rear, and I'm still debating if I actually even need them. The Ohlins kept body roll very well controlled, and the car had GREAT balance.


Also, the snap oversteer with throttle lift the car previously had, is now gone. Adjusting corner exit line is now a breeze with throttle modulation. As well as adjusting the line in sweepers or double apex corner. The car simply works, and does what you ask of it as long as the tires can do it. I'm probably happier with the purchase of these ohlins than I was with the turbo upgrade. The suspension is that good.

 

At what setting?

 

Open rebound

 

Excellent to hear! I'm still a ways from getting my car on the ground, plus Performance Shock sent me 8" spring lengths instead of the 7" I requested, so that'll further delay things. They made it right by getting a new set sent and I won't have to pay for shipping back to them.

Also got my wheels and tires ready.

 

ooooo, purple crack

 

Lol, yep!

Unfortunately I waited too long to source 285/30/18 RE71r tires. I've been told by various places they're 8 weeks out. Tirerack kept moving their date back. I was running out of time!

Really though, after it was all said and done, the Hoosiers were only about $175 more than the 71r's. You only live once. This is my first time on Hoosiers. I've been on Z214's (c51) so I'm curious to see and feel how much more grip the A7's have.

 

Also, am I doing something right or wrong, when my tire's treadwidth on the evo are as wide as the rear tires on the supra?

 

Yes, supra needs more rubber!

 

Unfortunately, my 295's are already pushing the limits with my wheel setup. However at roughly 700whp, they dead hook 2nd gear all day long!

 

Thats beautiful. Always wanted a supra.
