Ant .... that was my first thought ... stiffer front springs , until I talked to the guy who does all the suspensions on several vintage race cars and a TransAm car . He also does the suspensions on several Vintage NASCAR stock cars here and his own circle track car . I`m not saying he is infallible , but his thought was stiffen up the roll and keep the front springs relatively soft . At the same time , go to shocks that were adjustable on both compression and rebound and matched to the springs . Lets just say I had some hi speed stability issues on the dog leg on the front straight at VIR .
Caster is 5 degrees and camber will be increased ( more negative ) on both front and rear . He said all their cars run about approximately 1/16" toe out on the front and about the same on the rear ... except toe in there .
I was able to get just under 200 miles in at VIR and was able to get some pretty good tire readings as to wear patterns .
Thanks for your suggestions as I`m looking for all the help I can get .
