Since the exercise is maximizing tire grip and we have been speaking of that exercise with a 200tw DOT tire.
If I tune the suspension to obtain the best balance possible with the DOT 200tw tires but then switch to a sticky compound tire such as a Hoosier R compound in the same proportional stagger does that warrant more spring, ARB and associated shock dampening?
Since the increased grip of the tires would allow for higher cornering speeds the forces working on the suspension should increase. I would think this means at a minimum more bar would be needed.
I would think you could use a similar spring package to control the pitch of the cars weight which is static but add more bar to deal with the added force from the increased cornering load.
Since I only really care a bout the 200tw tires for the RTTC or Goodguys type events a Hoosier R compound may actually be what I really tune for.
I'd like to understand the logic behind a slick vs street tire tune better. I'm sure others won't mind reading that little diddy either.
Sorry Gae
