Default Re: Cutting SRT springs

I have -2º camber on the drivers side and -2.29º on the passenger side. (more left turns on the tracks I go to) On the back I was running -2º. The tires wore evenly but I have problems getting the power to the ground with the negative camber in the rear. When the new tires arrive I'll be using a longacre probe pyrometer to nail down the best pressures and camber for the track. I'm tired of guessing.

The weight balance front to rear is super front biased with or without the rake. My opinion has been that a lower back end of the car would transfer some weight to the rear where we have more tire. It's possible that lowering the rear messes up the geometry. I plan to put the car on scales sometime this year and have the geometry checked. Again, I getting real tired of guessing.

I'll make a change, wait for track day thinking how much better the car feels, go to the track and run slower. So much for sensory input from the butt. And I don't think anyone else's is better calibrated than mine. Don't get my complaining wrong. The car is stupid fast and has better than stock grip in the corners. But the modded Suby's and Evo's and even Honda's eat me alive in the twistys and get on the gas way before I can. I'm not judging my handling by comparing to other SRT's but by the other modified cars I run with.
