Default New belt and suspenders....

Little Saturday afternoon suspension ****... JRZ Motorsport 3-way remote canister race shocks with the large 25mm piston shafts. Looking forward to getting these set up.

Wow, they look the absolute business.....There is something about beautifully precision machined and anodized high quality components like that that makes me never tire of looking at them.....

If you don't mind me asking how much was that set up?

Very nice set up!
My mind is spinning with the adjustment options.

Going to start with my existing rates Andy. Having tried a bunch of spring rates on my existing JRZs I've been really happy with my current ones. Luckily I've got one of the best suspension guys in the business to dial these in.

This sounds like an almost necessary thing with the amount of adjustment possible. It will be interesting to hear your feedback on the difference in the swap.

I just went to a set of the 2 way JRZs and am looking forward to making some changes from the initial setup. Thanks for confirming my suspecion on my current sway set up. Had an instructor say it felt pretty loose too, but have been driving it that way since I bought it.

I was pretty lucky with mine too. Bought my car from a driver in the old Speed World Challenge series who used the street car for practice...it came with a pile of setup notes.

Even after going through all settings from complete scratch to find out what I liked best I still wound up pretty near where he had the car set to begin with.

I still carry this in my track bag just in case I come across something that makes me scratch my head during a weekend.

I always have this little booklet with me as well. If the track or weather vary, this helps! Generally, though, the settings stay the same if my alignment and tires are unchanged.

Is it Spring yet?

You'll be very happy with the OEM GT3 bars Mark. Start with 1 from full hard in front and 1 from full soft in rear.

Damn! I am doing it wrong. I guessed and changed it once. Can't say it's perfect, but it's not horrible
