BC racing 1 ways. With swift spring upgrade 10K front 12K rear. Stillen Front sway full stiff, removed stillen rear for this past weekend.

I run front setting about 7/8 from full stiff (they have 30 positions). I run rear setting around 11/12 from full stiff.

Set a new best time at big willow just this past sunday. Car felt great, TONS of front grip and rear behaved well. I might try one or two more clicks stiffer in the rear next time. I think one of the worst things you can do with a new set of coils is go too stiff in the front too soon. Leave the front just at the edge of stiff, and leave the back really soft and then start dialing it down. Front is pretty easy to adjust settings because of steering feel. The rear, well you will know its too stiff when it flies all over the place.

Prior weekend I still had rear sway connected at AAA speedway-car was a little scary, back end snapped oversteer a few times, and I was hesitant to give it more throttle on big sweeper. This same setup kept breaking lose on me at chuckwalla a few weeks prior(lots of 90 MPH sweepers).

So far new setup feels right on.

oh nice .. thanks for the helpful tips! yea dialing in the car will take time.. what tire setup and alignment u on?

but i was just curious on what ppl think about the tein mono sport and how would it perform at the track/autocross vs the mono flex since it replaced it and it suppose to be more toward street then track now..
