SPOHN

Went to the track yesterday and only ran one session due to other minor issues. But even if that wasn't the cause the handling would of made me stop.

Normally I run -2.5 camber -.02 toe on front and -1.8 camber 0 toe. Well I was telling my alignment guy about the mild bump steer our cars have and he felt running some toe in would help this cause and give more rear traction. First let me say the guy knows his stuff in this area. Wouldn't trust no one else so let's not go there. So he added .08 toe in which at the time I really didn't want that much but let it ride. Well come yesterday on the track it was the most horriable rear handling car I ever felt. I did not feel like going over 40mph around turns for it was that bad. The front was planted but felt as the rear was on ice the hole time. Very loose. The rear was steering the car bad IMO. Nothing else was changed on the car besides the traction arms but I dont see where's that's a issue. Maybe I should take the sways off full stiff in the rear. But there's no doubt I'm going back to the alignment shop and get this undone ASAP.

I talk to my guy today and he doesn't feel that should of been the case at all. He feels there should of been more traction added. So any input guys? I know our cars are far different from other. I don't want no slander on my guy. I trust him. It was definitely a trail and error. I also have always run a true type coilovers no issues. I now have SPL traction arms going on the week to help with bump steer by eliminating the crappy rubber bushings.
