That's what I had too. My Aragosta coilovers are better. I may have to play with different springs and settings.

I am about .5" less than stock ride height since my corner balance and my suspension is actual pretty loose now compared to the NISMO suspension.

I am wondering if pulling the rear sway bar would help any...

They are stiffer, 9 - 9.5kg/mm on the rear and the shocks are horribly over damped.

I think the -1.9 camber is killing me more than spring rate and travel right now. I might lighten up the shock rate as well (by a couple clicks) on the front and rear to get a little more transfer.

Its not helping but I have been there and gone to 0 and while it helps a little its not all youd hope for.

Getting the car to hook is going to be a compromise just like everything else. You can workaround anything and the car will complete the 1/4 mile.. but whatever you leave on the table will remain left on the table.

I apologize for the thread jack. Charles, this is your old style oil pan isn't it?

I will have to look up the sport rear spring rates and then buy some 7in. Swifts springs for the rear if I want to pursue this.

Here they are.

OEM Stock Springs........................................... ....... ...........................FRONT: 7.5K REAR: 8.0K

OEM Nismo Springs........................................... ....... ...........................FRONT: 8.1K REAR: 9.1K

But I do know youll want to find out if that rate is before or after the motion ratio if you intend to replace with universal springs. That detail might be obvious to someone who thinks about spring rates more often than I do.

One of the things I used to play with was the dampening on the shocks when I was drag racing. On the front. Soften your rebound all the way. Stiffen your compression all the way. This will let the front jump up and hold it there. On the rear. Set both compression and rebound in the mid. Play around with the compression to set your squat. Too much squat, stiffen the compression. Too little, soften the compression.

So, is everyone changing out the restrictor on the clutch line? as seen in this thread?
