Track Suspension Suggestions

More neg camber

Maybe Ron will see this. I know he had his car at the track recently.

What tires are you using?

Scott, So does this mean that the LS9 will be running soon? I / we would love to hear a rundown video etc. Maybe even some tire smoke just for giggles.

Hi Tony,

No, what it means is I am WAY behind in getting that project underway. After this track event, the old motor is coming out and I hope to really gets some traction on the LS9 project...

Michelin PS2's

I just measured my Camber and it is very close to ZERO on all four corners. Looking for suggestions on a Camber setting for the track...

Scott,
With those tires,I would try 1.5 deg in the front and 1 deg in the rear.
You might want to get another set of wheels for track duty and fit a set of Hoosier R6s. They will dramatically improve your grip over any treaded street tire. I run 2 deg front and 1.5 rear with R6s and I am very happy with the results.

Ron

Another shot.

ron, which coilovers are you running?

Thanks Ron,

I was looking for an inexpensive set of 17 inch rims for track tires but so far I haven't found an affordable set. Time to get out and make some camber changes...

Scott

Shocks are Koni. From Quella.

Make sure you check the toe after you do!

I agree with Ron. I had Don Byers set up my Pantera and I believe it had about the same setup as Ron's car negative caster front and back. The tires are what really makes a huge difference though. I found the street tires to be very unpredictable and I spun the Pantera out more than once with them. The Hoosiers had great stick and to me they seemed much more predictable, I could actually drive the car even with the rear end being a bit loose.

We will being seeing you up there in a couple weeks . We have the Mustang back together after splitting the block in half during the last event.
