Was having a discussion a while back with Ben M. but anyone else is welcome to
chime in with their experience. How much of an improvement would you think
could be gained on a street tire car by going from somewhat stiff aftermarket
springs to hellaciously stiff coilovers?
Someone with the same model claims to have picked up >1 second / lap by going
to a Ground Control with 550/450 lb springs, as compared to the setup like mine
with Intrax/ Eibachs. He's running an R-tired class though. As is Ben.
I know the Honda Nation is all running coilovers and has outstanding handling
on street tires. Just looking for some other opinions, and educated opinions,
on how much a car with reasonably optimized camber (-2.7 camber, 0 toe in
front) but ~240 lb springs might expect to pick up by moving to this alternate
setup, which would pretty much make the car track-only.
