What am i missing in this suspension setup?

DinaSi · 03-08-2010, 11:11 AM

HFP si suspension
progress RSB[new version]
front camber kit
skunk2 rear camber arms.

BFG KDW for tires.

You really don't need the camber kits for the HFP suspension, unless you're trying to run some more camber for the track. The HFP setup barely drops the car at all.

the stock si camber is already more neg then we already need and .7inch drop will jus make it more negatory lolol...seriously tho

not much at all... maybe more aggressive pads? im running about the same thing as you and the things different is i have much stickier tires (dunlop z1 star specs) and they are a bit wider (225s, actually does make a little difference) coupled with konig feather rims. theyre more lightweight making handling also a bit better. look into making your tires wider and lighter rims.

im in the process of sourcing some kosei k1's, apparently its all the rage with miata and mini guys for auto-x.

I dont believe they make K1's in a fitment for our cars.

I ran K1's before on my old CRX, great light and strong rims.

If you want to stick with Kosei, check out the K1-TS, very very light but IMO not as good looking as the oldschool K1's.

You need a camber kit any time you want to dial in negative front camber to help handling, which should be always if someone is spending money to improve their suspension.

pads/fluid, bushings, better strut/spring setup, better/wider tires. Weight?

End links? Alignment?

I'm well aware of that fact, which is why I said, " unless you're trying to run some more camber for the track".

OP: I don't know how you feel about multi spoke wheels, but you might want to look into a set of Team Dynamics. They're light, not terribly expensive, and have been used in racing for years.

I don't know about amazing, but I appreciate the compliment. I got them from a site sponsor:

Why save more negative camber just for the track? It helps on the street too.

You're right, but most of us can't afford to prematurely use up our tires with the added inside wear.
