i've been out of autocrossing for so long that i'm a born again noobie.
I've been opening tracking / TT for the last few years but sold that car and taking a break from the road course.
I picked up an awesome 98 WS6 Formula 1LE and I want to give it a go in SCCA F street stock.

http://www.ponycars.net/1le.html


Front springs: 1LE are 360 lbs/in versus 292 in stock 4th gen LS1's.
Rear springs: 1LE are 130-180 variable versus 114 in other 4th gen LS1's.

I am about to order strano hollow 35mm front bar and hankook R-S3 version 2, size 275's for some new TSW 18x9 Interlagos wheels.

Got the car to about -0.5 front camber both sides. was hoping for more but that was all we can get.

What I'm looking for from you guys is a starting point for the koni DA's. Can you make some suggestions?

Thanks!

About ready for the first event:

Set the shocks but will adjust during the event if necessary:
front rebound (top) - 9 sweep out of 12
front compression (bottom) - 4 out of 6 clicks

rear rebound (top) - about in the middle of the adjustment range (****)
rear compression (bottom) - 3 out of 6 clicks

Strano front 35mm hollow bar was 15.5 lbs versus 11 lbs fro the stock 32mm bar:


stock speedline ws6 wheels 45.5 lbs versus TSW Interlagos 18x9 with Hankook R-S4 (version2) weigh 47.5 lbs:


I was happy to see over -1 camber:


All dressed up and ready to party:

Hi Scott, it seems I find you everywhere! I put the 911 Porsche away and decided to dust off the TA, I've not driven it in over a year , 27kmi ! I forgoten what an awesome car it is, however it drives like crap since I installed the ride tech air ride bs set up, so I'm taking it out and going back to a regular high performance spring shock combo, as you know I drive the car hard but have no intentions to put it on track again (I think ) any suggestions ?
I would like a little lower than stock but not too much since I have the turbos that hang a little low below the exhaust manifolds.
The car is unsafe to drive real hard right now, buyer beware

yo bro!
I would suggest the strano springs but they are kinda low. You should call Strano and discuss. he is the man.
You may want a coilover kit.
Although maybe get away with some koni adjustable shocks and springs that Strano recommends (or maybe 1LE springs which I have which are stiffer than stock but still stock ride height). Then you should put in a watts link from Strano and a HD posi unit.
Then finally try the decoupled torque arm (benefits of decoupling when you need it (braking and maybe get no axle hop/trampling), and then benefits of a shorter torque arm when you need it (acceleration).
