crack open that box

Too bad indeed, from what I read, it would have been a great pairing.

Could try this one. I think it might no longer be for sale, but it fits the bill. Good luck.

Peter, you might find this interesting. Watch at least the first two minutes and the last one.

Sorry to bring this back, but it's a good watch nonetheless.

Hey my plane has wifi.....anyway that Faust for that video....interesting stuff. So many different opinions around on if springs should be stiff or not and sway settings.

Personally with me and my GTS....which has the Sport version of PASM...I don't want to screw it up but my car leans over way to much in turns and my sways are not adjustable. I'd like adjustable sways if they would help my car but not sure about the shock and springs on my car.

Senna...you are in trouble!

i`ve heard it before, same approach to tune car for corner exit speed - more springs, more front bar. i tried to tune car like this for AX runs, it stopped diving into a sweeper after that and stopped doing slalom well.

but i may assume if you go down that road and you drive on oversteer all the time making rear axle slide it in fact may be way faster on a track as it will not require extremely sharp turns.

still it is an interesting video considering Mike`s opinion on having front sway bar increased when most gt3 owners start with taking off stock rear bar and putting in bigger rear GT2 bar.

just out of curiosity - is there anybody who got TPC spring/sway bar package for gt3? what specs do they set car into?

utkinpol

sways and springs must be in balance and levitas is right on spot with this subject, but, i am afraid that to fully use setup levitas does for you`ld need to learn to drive like levitas does, first.

Mike from TPC talks about more spring...the you have Gavin and the Ex-tc guy saying softer spring and stiff shock.....then Mike fromTPC says more front bar and less rear bar and others say the optisite....wow confusing huh?

I'm in the air to SoCal for the week. I have a free daY tomorrow and plan on stopping by GMG and RSS to see what they suggest for my car which is different suspension that the gt3's

I had a chat with Galvin today, sooo...

+1 im lost. Mine is hoping around in the rear during hard braking which Mike talks about in the video, which I understand can also be due to the LSD. Also understeers into entry and mid corner. Someone give me a definitive answer hahaha

utkinpol

devil is in details of ratio between rate of springs and sway bars setup to work in balance for mid-corner and corner exit with reduced corner entry for which you need to pre-load car during trailbraking. very easy in theory but practical implementation may suck.

utkinpol

did you catch his notion of having to run wider tire in front than in rear? how about that for a change?

mdrums

Well yeah that's a given and easy to understand. On my GTs I'm running stock tires sizes...unlike the Carrera S on 18" and I ran 255/315 sizes. My GTS understears more easily than the Carrera S I had...both cars has same suspension...Sport PASM.

I'd rather run 18" but there is nothing left out there for us guys that drive the car to the track other than Toyo R888...

Since I have 19" wheels for the track I might try 245/35/19 MPSC next time.

Different drivers, conditions. I must test settings. I wish I was not so lazy.
