mpgainer posted a reply to the lap time of 1:29.210 by JQuintana on track configuration Thunderbolt at track New Jersey Motorsports Park.That’s quite an impressive time. Our cars aren’t all that different. I have very similar suspension mods. Sadly I purchased the automatic. It gets hot and sloppy.
Sahlt posted a reply to the lap time of 1:18.944 by Sahlt on track configuration Full Course at track Waterford Hills.2026 lap- TeeLew replied to the thread Minimum Tire to Strut Clearance.Really, it's any McPherson strut car. It's the nature of the beast. It's also tire dependent, but you basically go more negative until you start to degrade braking. That can be -4.5* or higher on some cars. (see full post)
Rodpwnz replied to the thread Minimum Tire to Strut Clearance.Working on getting the strut cutting tool as we speak - hopefully will be able to cut them out next week and get another alignment. Aiming for -3.2 degrees negative front camber. (see full post)

- TeeLew replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Good thing to cover here. Dave is running well over what I recommend for a front spring. He's got more engine weight than most, so that's part of it, but his nose-weight isn't crazy, since he has also done things like the tubular front subframe... (see full post)
Junkyard Dog replied to the thread Minimum Tire to Strut Clearance.I think I would go with more camber - I keep reading that S550s love -3.0° or more. Fix your clearance issue and get higher mid-corner speeds due to more front outside tire grip at the same time. 2 birds with 1 stone and all that. (see full post)
ArizonaBOSS replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Sounds like we are missing some alignment (camber/toe) info and again what phase of the corner we are talking about here (Hi Kevin!) Without that info, I will say that S197s love trail braking. (see full post)
Albino500 replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.All good points but let's go back to Dave_W comment - where's it pushing - corner entry-mid corner-corner exit? (see full post)

blacksheep-1 replied to the thread S197 pushing badly.Strictly from a tire perspective, if you need to demon tweak something you have to consider the amount of laps.if you are going out, less than 5, hopefully on stickers, you would boost thr front tires about 4 psi over the rears. They will heat up... (see full post)
