how do u set up your d specs 4 the track

[Tom]

rear really soft, and front hard is how i have it. any tips or suggestions would be awesome.

Try opposite. Front really soft and rear hard. This will allow the front to come up and help with weight transfer. I set mine up full soft in front and about 1 turn out from full hard in back.

ive been told that before. ill try that. I should of made a poll

I usually do 4 turns in the rear from full hard, and 6 turns from full hard in the front.

Best 60' at Orlando Spinworld has been a 1.595 on MT ET Streets

So far this season ive had 3 Autocross events with the new suspension adn D-Specs, for breaking and turning situations i have found its most beneficial to have your rear softer than your front, otherwise you will find that your back will be slipping out a lot and you get too much oversteer. For Autocross i run 2 or 2.5 turns from firm in front and 3 - 3.5 turns from firm in the rear on the street i run them at 5 from firm front and 6 rear.

I have not had a chance to test the D-Specs at the Drag strip yet but i would imagine you want it to be in the 2 - 3 range rear and softer the better up front. A half a turn makes a big difference, so i try and adjust them between runs based on how the last pass felt.

For the track you run the fronts 2 turns out from full soft and the rear 2 turns out from full stiff for the best results.

Specifically, it will depend on your tires and setup.
I tried what everyone on here suggested, trying close to full soft up front, and close to full hard on the back, and was getting too much spin at the line and not enough squat.

So by some experimentation, by doing what the Dspec manual says, running full soft front and full soft on rears, it got rid of the spinning at the line!
So then I adjusted and tried, and the optimum settings for me are 7 turns out for fronts, and 5 turns out for back.
(suspension setup is in my sig for the most part, with no front sway bar and a stock gt sway bar in the rear; M/T ET Street radials)

It will vary on the car & track and you'll need to experiment. I have the d-specs in the front & Q/A out back.

When I ran drag radials I could not hit the tire too hard. Since I'm a turbo car that meant less boost off the line and sometime a bit of peddling to get the right hook. Less boost meant I could not carry the front end as long until the turbo spooled up. At 7 turns on the front, the front end would pop up quickly and then settle quickly causing the rear tires to unload and I would sometimes spin 20-30 feet out and then start peddling to control it. I ended up running the front at 4 turns to help slow down the extension and rebound, which helped.

I recently switched to slicks and now I can hit the tire much harder. I switched back to 7 turns since I'm now able to carry the front longer and have it settle slowly since there is more power off the line and enough to carry the front until the turbo reaches full boost.

It's all trial-n-error... good luck.
