Hi,
Last sunday I just took my car for a spin in the race track. It's a my first time experience and it was fun!! Being my first time I managed to experience an oversteer and spins to almost opposite direction on one of the corners on the track. I was entering the corner too fast hence the oversteer. Thank God I didn't hit anything though. I thought I will get understeer than oversteer on the track, boy I was so wrong.
I want to improve the car's handling, I already got koni yellows (adjustable damper), and H&R springs to match it. On the front I set the damper on the stiffest setting (maximum) and at the back I set to medium. With this combination the car is quite stiff, but yet also comfortable for use in the regular road. I tried to set the dampening rate stiffest on the back, but oh man it feels quite uncomfortable in the regular road. The back feels so much stiffer than the front (maybe because the front has the engine's weight?) For the wheels and tires I got enkei 18x7.5 with 225/40 tires on it.
The question is, is my suspension setting wrong? Should I set dampening rate on at the back suspension at the same rate (maximum) to get good handling?
Btw, friend of mine took some pics of my car on the corner, is it too much body roll?
