Thanks for the congrats, it really is cool to do well with a G-body against all of the other muscle cars in our class.
That's the plan!... CAMAROS
I wasn't soft on the rear rebound by any means. I don't have my notes in front of me, but I think I started out my shock tuning on Monday with the rear rebound at -2 clicks out of 24...almost totally stiff (I start at full stiff and count clicks as I soften, so -2 is 2 clicks counter clockwise from full stiff). I think they ended up at -8 and I might try going just a bit softer with them next time out as I think they are still picking up the inside rear tire under hard abrupt maneuvers.
I've always run the front rebound between -6 and -8, just little changes there make a big difference. If I need front grip for a bit longer, say for a long sweeping turn on an autocross course, 2 clicks firmer will fix that right up. 1 more click though and I'll start loosing rear grip on exit. It's a fine balance.
Front and rear low speed compression are both at -15 I believe, on the soft side of the middle, same with high speed compression. Only thing I do to drive on the street is soften the rear rebound all the way up, the rest stays the same and it rides great.
Thanks, that clarifies a lot.
Ron will probably explain this better than me, but I think the saying goes "increasing rebound adds grip and increasing compression takes grip away" or something like that. What do I know, I'm just the driver (and owner).
Makes sense.
As you know, the hardest part with this is replicating the track like conditions for testing and tuning. Just 4 runs during an event is NOT enough time to tune on shocks properly.
