Too much suspension travel on HSDs?

Only downside to the circlip setup is obviously the inability to cornerweight your car, which does make a noticable difference to the handling. Plus for those that do want millimeter perfect ride height it's not ideal, but not everybody's that fussy. lol

 

Neither the 350Z kits or JZA80 kits are designed to be super hardcore track setups, just excellent fast road & trackday setups, if you WANT a hardcore setup then we can provide a 3 way adjustable kit with whatever spring rate you prefer.

 

Equally, while not practical, I'd be really interested to look over any cars with handling problems and see if a few setup changes could fix it. I mess with my car's suspension setup constantly, and have been using it as a development mule for our upcoming E36 M3 coilovers. Just as an example, we've ended up settling for a softer rate than I would "prefer" for track use, but I drive my car every day and have compromised down a little so you get 90% of the on track performance but huge gains on day to day comfort. In reality it's faster in 90% of real world situations with the softer setup anyway, since it's more friendly to drive up to the limit.

 

Equally, for really aggressive use I'd ramp up the rebound damping a little, but day to day it makes it annoying, and can make it unhappy over the kind of funny undulations you find on the road.

 

You can't please all people all of the time, our setups are generally the most hardcore that is stomachable on a day to day basis...

 

Ark, if you want to give us (Driftworks) a call then I'll see if we can sort out some tweaks to make things better for you. :)
