So i had a autox today, first time in the Z and just reporting back with some impressions on nismo shocks and swift springs.
Unfortunately didnt autox before with stock setup so cant help with questions on comparisons.
Impressions on the suspension is that it was fantastic!!
Extremely stable and perfectly composed on the corners. There was a very long sweeper and i could control the rear of the car with the gas very well and car wasnt wobbling while making adjustments mid corner or anything.
Changes in direction were nice and suspension just settled immediately. When the back did kick out a bit it was very progressive and easy to anticipate. I was expecting some smap oversteer in some corners but never had it.
In a couple of bumpy parts of the autox the suspension soaked them up real well.
I would like to touch up on some negative aspects but i honestly dont have any. The setup really did surpass my expectations.
I have been attending autox regularly for over 7 years so im somewhat experienced relatively speaking.
Alignment is what the car got after i installed the springs so dont know exactly but from what i read about -1.3-6 in the front and -2.3-5 in the back? I have spacers and SPL camber arms for the back which are not installed yet but for autox i think the alighnment is great. If anythign maybe just a little more neg camber in the front for some more agressive turn in would be great.
Im going to dial out some camber in the back just for tire longevity alone but it felt great in Autox.
When i get it alight with the parts installed ill post the current alighment with my new one just to associate this experience with whatever alignment the car has right now.
I was in STR and did fairly ok. A bit above half way which considering the competition i was happy with. Didnt expect any higher in this class.
Any questions feel free to ask .
Thanks
