Tire temps are always king, testing always offers good perspective. However these cars come with a lot of front caster from the factory to overcome the lack of camber gain from the mcpherson strut front ends, compliance from big production tires and bushings in the front control arms. I've...
Finally! Now I can actually get agressive with my setup at the track! Anyone else have their camber plates? You need more camber for road courses hpde's or autocrosses. Plus if you lowered this is a great and easy mod. The factory camber bolts can slip and move and frequently do. Very...
So quick question, and maybe its a silly one. But if you have to remove the stock shifter from underneath the car in the first place, whats the point of designing a compact shifter thats main benefit is the ability to be installed from the cockpit?
Just honest curiosity in regards to the...
Again this is very common, this is a ford racing lowering spring and an eibach spring. This is how progressives are designed. The spring isolators are an industry standard not a cheap fix
As mentioned previously the fact that these springs are touching under compression is not an issue. In fact thats how progressive springs are designed to operate!
During the initial spring rate the coils typically wont come in contact, but once you begin putting enough force on the springs they...
Wow thats honestly really underwhelming in terms of weight savings. When I worked in motorsports we would save 15lbs in the hood. Im sure its probably due to the excess resin and layers they add to these in order to make them solid for the masses and provide a better gloss finish.
Just because some items are available right now doesn't mean those are the right units for your car or goal. This platform is still only a year old so there are many quality components we have yet to see.
Sometimes its worth the wait as I'm sure you would want to go through this process a...
Most "quality" adjustable dampers have such a large range of adjust ability in them nowadays that it is ridiculous. Most of it isn't even usable.
What that means for you though is that it is likely that no matter what spring you choose (stiffer = better for the track) then you will have enough...
Good question, I hope I can help your process a bit.
There are a few options for you if you want to get into the spring and damper market.
Full Coilovers
Front coil overs and rear adjustable damper with ride height adjustable spring
Adjustable dampers and fixed spring
Fixed dampers and...
I installed these on my car no problem, the instructions that are included provide a pretty good depiction. Thats typically where I'd go first for clarification.
It tells you to loosen the rears up and remove the fronts completely.
Not really what I was getting at. I simply meant that you can get a good comparison if you control the environment and use a tune that each company promotes. What I mean by that is that I am sure many tunes are designed to do different things, raw peak horespower vs. throttle response and...
If your planning on testing the different intakes on one car make sure that you have the specific tunes for each one before hand. You cant compare each CAI on the same tune because as other have mentioned the MAF diameters are different. Secondly I would monitor the important conditions when...
