    some good info in regards to suspension adjustment.(meant mainly for FR cars)

    Supraguru, Thanks for getting back to me... The Supra is shod w/ RSR race springs front and rear, 700Lb/inch and 400Lb/inch. The car is DD and is tracked six times a year for HPDE track days. Consequently, inherent compromises the result. The weight is 3320 ((1680fr/1640r) on a truck scale. I...

    Centralia Meet and Greet Saturday May 4th

    No problem... I'm happy to get this started! I will call the property manager before the event and get use of parking cones OK'd so we can reserve some parking for the event. Last year it was dicey; there was a forty foot tour bus parked where we held the event. Van

    Race Ready 7M

    I've been told Toyota set up the suspension higher in the rear so it wouldn't bottom out under a hard launch? Yeah... I asked fellow road racing club members at Cascade Sports Care Club and I was told to cut off 1/4 of the bottom winding on each spring and go out for a test run to see how well...

    Why did Toyota Set Up Our Suspension Higher in the Rear?

    When lowering it, what will happen to the stability of the platform? Will the rear end have more stability but the front less? :dunno: I'm planning on lowering the rear by 1/2 inch, so it matches the front of 1.5 inches lower than stock. Thanks. Van

    Centralia?

    So, is that it; Eight people say they want to go? :nono: Say it ain't so! We need 15 to get a sticky... If I count everyone who has commented in this thread, we have enough for a sticky. I'm requesting a sticky. Van

    A question that comes to mind; why are our cars set up a little higher in the rear suspension? Is there more stability doing it that way? I ask, as I'm planning on lowering the rear to nearly the same height as the front. Van

    Race Ready 7M

    So, the Supra failed tech Saturday at PIR for a leaking water pump!:3d_frown: I spent the day working the track in "Hot Pits". Not what I expected. Got a start on my sun tan... Will replace the pump ASAP. I'm back in April for a go at the track with the new set up and new H2O pump...

    Race Ready 7M

    If the Supra was a dedicated track car, I'd have gone with the Enkei RPF1, but it is a DD'er, that sees the track six times a year for track days, not racing... I just couldn't justify the risk or expense of a lighter wheel. Van

    Hi Crisp, 23 LBS each. I figure that is heavy enough to tough out our pot holed roads in the Greater NW. Van
