I will run this by our tech team & see if they can offer the specifics without giving the farm

You can tell people _exactly_ what's on your car. It really doesn't matter. No one is going to build your car with your driver at that track under those conditions. The worst you'll do to hurt yourself is to give someone a starting point.

Here wishing the Steeda team sticky tires, clean air and the wind at your backs.

Well, add another sub-section for fluids.

That's Steeda Tech's department - they won't let me touch the car

MCS 2 way adjustable with remote reservoirs spring rates are I guess custom. It's not a good advertising to say that you are running other company springs and shocks on your track car that's why they are not there. But if you look trough photos in this tread you will see that it's MCS 2 way ;).

back on post 420 TJ here claimed "Steeda Suspension at work". I don't think anyone is looking to crucify them for using 'branded' versions of Koni or MCS parts.

but on post Post 356 the pics show the MCS shocks I even asked after that. Hope this helps.

Yes we are running the MCS Dampers front and rear with our Steeda dual rate springs in the rear. Currently we are running a 300lb/in on the front.

Thanks great link

Motion Control are the dampers we run on the 20 car. We run anywhere from 300lb/in to 650lb/in
In front. Rear we run a coil-over spring in the production control arm location for durability, rates range from 1000lb/in to 1600lb/in. Spring rate determination is track conditions, tire compound, tire sidewall stiffness, aerodynamic downforce, etc. On another note, currently our HPDE car runs our Steeda Pro-Action coil over adjustables on the front, with the adjustables in the rear with the coil over spring in the rear. We should have a advanced HPDE kit available this fall. Spring changes with the new kit will take under one hour on all four corners. The ride height is fully adjustable. The 20 car is fully instrumented with a data acquisition system. What we learn from racing and track events we put into our products. Our customers and enthusiasts are number one at Steeda!

No, Yes & prepare to be disappointed. I'm sure they have a 'base' setup which is kind of generic and works ok pretty much anywhere. The actual setup at any given point in time may or may not have much in common with the base.

Getting ready for Qualifying!

Qualified 2nd on the grid. Led the 30 min race until the end and finished 2nd . Fuel surge tank failure ran out of fuel last lap. That’s racing! Proud to see a production Mustang right out of the showroom floor with mods you can afford, compete with purpose built GT4 Cayman Porsche costing four times as much!
