KW v3 track set up?
 

I just ordered KW v3 coilovers and SPL control arms and rear camber arms and I'm looking for advise for a track set up. I still drive the car a little on the street but not much.

How much should I lower the car?

What is your alignment set at?

I personally like the factory recommended specs for hard street driving. As far as height goes, I go as low as I can without scraping to terribly much. Since the car will be both a street and track car you wont be able to go to low as you'll have to make sure you can get over speed bumps and whatnot.

I'm running -2.1 front -1.6 rear camber. Forgot the toe specs. Haven't run it on the track yet but for AutoX I've done 12 front 7 rear for the dampening. Didn't touch the rebound. It's also difficult to adjust the rebound in the front with the shock still on the car. I've gone about 1.5" lower than stock. The car handles extremely well for AutoX, especially with a corner balance done by RT Tuning. Very well balanced, not too much under or oversteer. I've run this setup with my Hoosier a6 295 front 315 rear.

Happy to hear it worked out for you on the cone course.

if the car is a track car mostly then I wouldn't have gone with kw v3, the v3 are mainly a mild street car setup than a track setup. You will notice it is a bit too soft for track once push hard. Either way, it will work.
My alignment is at around -3.3- 3.5 front and toed out, rear is now also at -3.3 (previously -2.2 and 0 toe) and now 1/16 toe in. This has been working well for me for Hankook Rs3

What kind of coilovers would you use?

He's using a $6-9k set of JRZs, LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL

WOW, I'm not going there!

I don't see one of the important factors....what type of tire?

RE-11s

u'll be at somewhere around -3 and -1.8/-2ish in the rear

Thanks!

pyrometer tells all

Isn't that for exhaust temps? Please explain.

it's reads temp measurements from tire and has a probe w a needle, u do 3 readings per tire, outer, middle, inner and see the temps to see if you need more or less camber
