Have you changed the suspension for track racing?
JBCOBRA JB have you changed to suspension for track racing. With a sticky tire you are going to need more spring, multi control shock for dampening and rebound, larger sway bars, and most important, MORE safety ideas for you and the car. Driver suit,roll cage, race seat, 5 point seat belt harness, and fire bottle. I went from 15" tires (BFG's) to 17" pilots, same road course and went 3 seconds faster without any other change. The car handles alot different. 15" tires slide and you can feel the lost of tire grip in your butt. 17" Pilots better grip with 2 problems, the suspension for the street is not up to the racetrack speed and no warning when the 17" tires loose grip. You need to get your car wieght set and balanced with you in it. about 47% front to 53% rear. Ask the guys that race your car type and see what they changed for track racing. My car plows bad with the 17" tires, with the 15" it would slide and not plow first. This will save you alot of problems in the long run. I am going with 2 different shock and spring combo between street and track. It take's 20 minutes to change over. Rick Lake
