I’m going to start Road Racing this spring, all HPDE’s. I’m mechanically inclined but the one thing I don’t know is how to properly setup a car based on how it’s behaving. I have a Brembo 5.0 and am planning the following suspension mods. Koni yellows, Steeda sport springs, and Strano adjustable F/R bars. Is there a book or site where I can read up on adjusting suspensions. The Koni’s and bars are adjustable so I’m sure the info will be helpful. Also would adjustable end links be worth it, if so what do they do exactly? I know I should wait to mod the car after I drive it a few times but I came into some car money and it’s a use it or lose it scenario. If I don’t spend it my wife may take the money and spend on furniture which we don’t need. So any ideas?

 

If your buying parts from Sam or Steeda they are the best people to ask for advice..... with out a dobt.

 

Hey Devildog,

We can definitely help. PM me your cell phone or email address so we can talk more about what you are looking to accomplish and your budget. We can piece parts together, provide recommendations, and our track guys can give you the necessary information you are looking for.

Thanks

Thanks will do.

 

Someone posted this link and even though it comes from a mostly "ricer" website, the information was very insightful. It's an 8 part write-up titled "The Ultimate Guide to Suspension and Handling." It's not the end-all/be-all of suspension tech, but it's a good place to start.

Adjustable end links will make sure your sway bar stays parallel to the ground after lowering the car with springs/coilovers which also prevents the bar from binding prematurely. I personally think they would help a lower-than-stock car on the track, but that's just my $0.00000002

I totally agree with Glenn: Sam Strano and TJ -Steeda (and some others) will be happy to help point you in the right direction with the goals you have for your car. Good luck!
