I don't trust myself that much..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely sketchy looking.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your PMs are turned off or your mailbox is full. Have you played much with the settings for the shockworks at the track? Previous owner of my coilovers mentioned that for normal street duties that 4 at the front and 3 at the rear would do well. However for track work, a firm 6 at the front and back would be best. Maybe give that a go? Thanks man, sorry not sure what's up with the PMs, shouldn't be full. I usually go for the firmer shock settings, the first few rallysprints I drove in I had them set to just past halfway, but it still felt very soft. I gradually upped them until I hit max. The shockworks are pretty tame compared to something like Tein. On the street I used to run them about halfway and it had a good blend of ride quality and handling. Since the barbagallo track session where I had max front and 2-3 notches down at the rear, I haven't turned them down again. With the lighter Work wheels and now with 2-piece DBA5000 rotors on (which were massively lighter than the stock Brembo rotors), I find it to be perfect on the street. The way it goes around corners with the softer setting on the rear is just spot on. I don't think I'll change it again. As for those rallysprints, I had a few close calls where I would have rolled my car or seriously damaged it, so the F6 won't be driven there again anytime soon! I bought a Clio 182 specifically for rallysprints, poured lots of money into it to get it into the right spec, but then the engine let go. I'm just gonna stick with the casual track days from now on, way more fun and less stress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circuits are much safer than Rallies or even Hillclimbs in my opinion. Tyres get up to temp on supersprints and there is far more run off. Wakefield is basically a big paddock.
