Have been following the Nitron thread and have a few questions:
Does anyone know roughly what spring rates Freestyle use in their "Road/Trackday" spring and damper kit. I was planning on having that fitted to my Superlight along with an adjustable front anti-roll bar. I already have the overslung adjustable rear ARB - what setting should I run that on?
My current setup is Bilstein dampers with the standard progressive rear springs, standard SL fronts (AFAIK and whatever they are!) and a green (18mm) ARB (probably way too stiff!). What sort of changes to the handling should I expect from the Freestyle kit? Would a Nitron set up be noticeably better (certainly more expensive)?
I drive a lot on road and do 4-5 track days a year. The car is a 1997 model and the springs/dampers have seen better days. I'm not an experienced track driver (drive in beginner or intermediate group depending on whether I have visited the circuit before) so don't really know where to start on getting a car set up for me. At the moment I probably wouldn't get the benefit of the "perfect" setup but would like to start down the road of adjusting the car's setup to learn how the changes feel. I think my car is predominantly understeering at the moment especially on track. To complete the info, my car is 1.6K SS and running 185/60R13 Yoko A048R.
