Re: Dope status
ok imma start this off right, first of all yes i come off as an ass with my first comment...im sorry for that no joke
but
theres no way you can say camber doesnt help in handling....yes that one picture stated earlyer is just stupid camber all together and yes dragging your ass on the ground is dumb especially if you live in richmond but saying that having your shit slammed with some camber is gonna ruin your handling is an equally stupid remark.
run 2 identical cars on the same track one at stock height and camber one slammed with moderate camber and see who handles better.
as for exact numbers on my setup i couldnt tell ya because i have a very simple set up, but i can tell you whats under there
ksport full coilover kit with damper adjust more so on the stiff side, i picked up the car slammed and raised it 2 inches due to it being a horrible compfort issue in down town richmond
front and rear strut bars
blox LCA
anti sway bars
and a few odds an ends in the shed uninstalled
not much i know but its all i need being a daily driven car, but i still think the statement of slammed cars cant handle is less than accurate simply because of the lower center of gravity in comparison to a car that has a higher stance. body roll....come on
and camber helps in cornering theres no ifs ands or buts about it. i do agree that outrageous camber (like that infiniti) is just bad but you cant disregaurd the benefits.
we can argue this forever and not really get anywhere but if you line my car up with an identicle vehicle at stock hight camber...etc etc etc. i will out handle it, if you wanan stand around and talk suspensions one day im cool with that but just dont write off slammed cars when it comes to handling because theres tastefully lowering your car and then there rediculous

If you lower the car so low that the roll center goes below ground:
You WILL have more body roll than you would if the car was higher. To band aid this condition, you will need to run stiffer springs. Stiffer springs means that the car will feel like it transitions very quick, however the suspension will not travel enough to give the car as much grip as what would be had if it had softer springs, the same amount of body roll due to the roll center being higher.
Theres a reason the slammed craze came from drifting, and not actual racing.

Re: Dope status
If it wasn't for this, I'd be able to drive my car at a height that isn't 4x4 on track. And my definition of 4x4 is no wheel gap.
Well, that and these gay things called tires, and contact patch and all that gay shit. Stretched tires and 1/4" off the ground is how i wanna track my car... but I can't. It sux. Makes me not like the track, but not enough to not raise my car every time i go.

Re: Dope status
Is there room to create new mounting points for the lower control arm to the subframes? Has anyone thought about trying to get extended balljoints made to lower the control arms back down?
