Hello Speed Addicted)
I'm sure there are many people with good track experience and suspension tuning to help us.
We need to make an ultimate suspension setup for a GT3 RS Mk1. It has stock body, stock engine.
The car runs in Russia and will participate in national time attack championship.
I was thinking about adding a set of high performance racing 2-way dampers like Motons, JRZ, ANZE/Penske, Ohlins TTX.
Fabryce at GMG suggested to put their monoball arms and anti-roll bars leaving the stock dampers and springs. But I doubt it will work best for us.
We need a good amount of rebound to be fast on slow tracks with high kerbs and be able to adjust the suspension for the faster tracks.

We will have 2 low speed tracks with many tight corners and two mid to high
speed corners, 1 with mainly mid speed corners and low grip pavement, 2 high
speed tracks with good grippy pavement with several elevation changes. The
tires will be 90% Michelin PS Cup as we cannot see huge difference if
putting 18" for now. We cannot put Hoosiers R6/A6 or similar tire due to class
regualtions.

Sample video from the fastest track around here with this particular car on slicks:
Any comments/thoughts are welcome.

Thanks in advance, Alexander.

contact Jan Erren @ Manthey Motors in Germany ... go with a set of their KW custom sprung and valved... or check out the thread on the http://www.exe-tc.co.uk/ suspension ... this might be a better solution for low speed tracks ...

you are going to need experience in tuning/configuring the suspension ... go with either of these guys you will *NOT* be disappointed!

Saved me from typing..

Only Manthey can pull off a suspension setup by wire for the average Joe and for an unknown track.
Their KW is overpriced, their experience comes cheap.

Larry Cable

great minds think alike!

Waiting for you to reply on the PS steak.
Trakcar challenged us openly.

KW is what I said + CUP LSD.
Plus whatever Manthey (AKA Porsche skunkworks) says.


The challenge stands.
Any excuse to go to the Ring is a good one.

Maybe if I promise the wife we go back to Asolo and leave her there for a few days....

I'm thinking either the scuderia hanseat in may or the 3-day touristfahren 26th-28th May 2012 for my next visit ...



I'm also tempted by the PSDS G-Force school in Leipzig on 9th-10th June

TRAKCAR

Maybe we can try this again for 2012.

Send me some links, what where do yoy get for car? Maybe I can get the same and you can show me around the Ring.

I will look to see if I can book it, maybe pay off and ship the RS. The Euro will be 1 USD thanks to 911SLOW soon after all ;-)

Izzone

Can I come too?

TRAKCAR

We can fit 2 cars, tires and tools in 1 40' container. Or share rental 911 from Avis.

Go with Cup uprights and subframe, and start from there.

i think street rentals not allowed at the ring. mega - euro fines apply.
they got electronic tracking devices or something.

I know that Europcar has spotters at the ring who look for their cars and will fine you if they catch you. Shenanigans still occur, though:

Don't rent in Germany..

If your class allows it, I would, highly, highly, highly suggest you replace every single piece of rubber in the suspension (RSS, Tarett, GMG, etc) - to me this would be critical when you are going for the last 1/2 second.

I would also replace the engine mounts with semi solid or solid (wevo or Rennline) - if the class allows this - another must - you have to stop the engine from moving / shifting it's large load.

Not as critical, but on the shorter tracks with lots of 2nd to 3rd shifts, you want the 996 cup shifter and cables - if you have to slow your 2nd to 3rd shift during a side loading track out - it will cost you.

Shorter 18" wheels will lower CG and improve gearing
