From what I hear...Robi should be coming out your way pretty soon! Check the Evo M forums as they usually post up their trips there. If any of you get the opportunity to get their suspension tuned by Robispec...i HIGHLY recommend it!!! Robispec -- Defying physics...one car at a time

lmao...I know Jon pretty well. Better than I'd like to sometimes.

Small world.

Yeah I would love to get tuned by Robi, but I've blown enough money as it is on alignments already. I was supposed to get a deal, but its still going to be $. I've heard great things though...maybe I'll reconsider.

coming to AWD motorsports the 16th -19th lets talk!

Robi remember that person that was asking for KW V3's for the 370z from you through Jon at HBSpeed that you seemed to completely blow off. That was me.

We need people who are racing to post alignments - trying to do this one at a time with one alignment every couple months is going to take forever. That's part of what the Miata guys have going for them - people who are trying different setups on the track in the same day.

Not to discourage - I would love to see some good setups posted here. And there's no better time than the present to start comparing notes. I just wish we had more people who had the capability to tweak hourly to really get this car nailed.

I posted mine in my journal....I like it right now, though its a little tailhappy.

funny you say that. i think the hotchkis front sway is MUCH to stiff, and my car has so much understeer its taken the fun out of driving it hard.

I had the same problem.

Get the SPC camber arms and set the front camber to between -2.0 and -2.5. The understeer will be completely eradicated.

What does this do to the longevity of your tires? Do you drive this car on the road with it set this way?

front tires are already showing slight uneven wear from dropping it ~1". while i dont mind cranking the camber, i think of it as sort of a band aide to the problem. even the rear bar set to the stiffest position, oversteer can only be achived by hard accelleration out of turns.

i mean, the car is STIFF. pulling into my driveway at an angle causes the rear inside tire to literally lift off the ground.

For me it increases the longevity of the tires. Even at -2.5 I am wearing more on the outside of my tires than I am on the inside.

I can achieve oversteer at any speed with the front camber adjusted. I certainly wouldn't increase camber to this extreme on a street driven only car or one that sees a lot of daily highway miles. However for right now highway puts little wear on my tires compared to the abuse they receive at auto-x.

For cars that see more street driving than track driving I think the Stillen sway bars are better. Hopefully the adjustable whiteline bars will be out soon as well, although I'm certain those will be pretty stiff as well.

I don't know the alignment specs of mine, but it is a normal street alignment.

With eibach springs, stillen sways and the square tire setup (275/35/18), the car is very neutral.

I'm sorry....but KW wasn't working with me on this chassis...at the time and as you can see that's now changed!
