At the track, what are you adjusting D-Specs too, and what springs are you using? Looking for some suggestions on where to start. Was thinking 3 rounds (from full) on rear, 5 up front.

I run the front 7 turns and the rears, the passenger side one turn and the drivers side 1.5 to 2 turns. I have the stock springs.

I don't have them any more - but when I did - I ran the fronts 7 turns out on stock springs and the rears 2 turns out on eibach springs.

Now I run QA1 coilovers up front and GT500 springs out back with QA1 shocks and have to admit it - it is insanely better...:beer:

I was using 7 turns front 0 turns rear. Now I think the front shouldn't be quite that soft because watching my videos I nosed over on the 1-2.

Why would you have the passenger side stiffer than the driver side (rear)?
Is it because of how power is applied and, by doing the driver side a 1.5-2, it evens power out at the rear better and more uniformly? Just currious.

I'll be trying these out Sunday!

As the engine spins the shaft and force is applied to the axles, the entire rear-end wants to rotate in the same direction, which is counter-clockwise if you are standing behind the car. The passenger rear tire wants to rotate up into the wheel well, while the driver side wants to rotate down. Adjusting the shocks to be firmer on the passenger side helps slow this rotation down with the goal of having the car leave level with equal traction on both wheels.

+1 to Brad... I always run my passenger side stiffer than the drivers side. It helps keep the drivers side from unloading.
