can you post the type and the spring rate?
also, how does it perform on turn specially the hairpin?
does the front coilover "jump" when you going out from the hairpin?
here's my explanation about "jump".
let say you go to a left hairpin, after you hit the apex, you start flooring the gas when you go out from the turn.
it means you put pressure on the front right suspension.
does the car jump (the damper is going up and down)?
does your engine rev smoothly when going out from the turn or its coughing?
Thanks a lot...  |

Its not necessarily your coilovers or your camber, When you floor the gas directly at the apex in a FWD car your not gunna go anywhere unless your almost at a stop due to traction problems (as said already). Mainly, it looks to me like you need to check out some of the How to: Driving a FWD car on some tips about cornering, possibly brake induced oversteer, left foot braking, on the track only of course
Like trickyazn said, practice with your stock coils or whatever setup you have right now and see if you can improve solely on practice alone for a while, then if you start noticing a plateau (times within say .3 to .5 of each other) you know that its not you the driver, but yet something else needed to improve times. If you get really good, maybe some lift-off FTW? Enjoy yourself and have fun..
