Steeda Suspension Settings - What Are You Dialed In At?

[SR56]

Been looking through the forum and there is information in bits and pieces all over, but not a collective gathering that I've found. Looking to see what others are running with as well as comments or suggestions for how you dialed in. Hoping to make this somewhat of a resource guide.

List your Steeda suspension mods, then adjustments for their Pro-Action dampers and sways, or other tweaks you may have done.

I'm also listing my ride height measurements.

Car: 2016 GTPP
Notes: Suspension installed by Steeda Pompano in June 2016. Sway settings are the same as install. Dampers were set at full soft during install and adjusted by me. Goal is to do road courses on occasion.

My Steeda Mods:

Stop the Hop Kit
Linear Sport Springs (1" Drop, 200 F / 800 R lb/in rated)
Pro-Action Shocks & Struts
Front 1 3/8" Sway
Rear 1 1/8" Sway
G-Trac Brace

Stock PP PZero rims/tires in OE sizing

Measurements / Adjustments

Front Struts: 1.5 turns from soft
Rear Struts: 1.5 turns from soft

Front Sway: 2nd hole from soft
Rear Sway: Middle hole

Linear Sport Springs Height Measurements

Front middle splitter: 6 1/4"
Front right/left quarter in front of tire: 6 1/4"
Front right/left quarter tire corner under 5.0 emblem: 5"
Rear right/left quarter in front of tire: 6 1/4"
Rear right/left quarter in back of tire: 7.5"
Rear brake light from bottom of painted plastic lip: 11"

**Measurements were taken from the exact middle front/rear, and then where the frame/body ends on the wheel openings.
**Notable that the car is completely even at all measuring points after a year and a half of settling in.

I have been happy with the following, but I'm going to try Steeda's repeated suggestion of going with the "softer" settings on the shocks. I've never gone below 1.5 turns on track, I don't think, but the tracks I've been on have been relatively smooth (not ex-airport surfaces like Sebring). Anyway...

Steeda Dual Rate Comp Springs + Adjustable Pro-Action Dampers:
- Street: 1.5 turns front and rear
- High Speed Road Course: 1.5 turns front, 2 turns rear
- Technical Road Course: 2 turns front and rear

I haven't the slightest idea how I decided on the above. Just that... it's what I did.

Sway bars I rarely adjust. Currently second from soft up front and middle on rear. The has basically dialed out all undesirable understeer with SQUARE tires. If I run my stock staggered setup, I get understeer again. These cars understeer incessantly staggered in my experience.

[MENTION=7748]tj@steeda[/MENTION] [MENTION=25806]SteedaTech[/MENTION] how many quarter turns are available with your pro action shocks? That is, how many quarter turns until maximum damping?

IIRC, it's 2.5 or 3 full turns.

From full soft approximately, 10 counterclockwise quarter turns .
Which is 2.5 counter clockwise turns

So ... plenty of damping for the stiffest springs, I assume?

I wonder if I went full soft on one rear wheel, and full damping on the other, if I could drive around on 3 wheels should I get a flat.

I vote that you figure that out for us.
