Project "Payback"

[Vegas69]

This is my first event with my new coil springs. The car was definitely better. After reviewing the photos and the feel of the car, I know the car needs some work yet. That is good news since I clearly didn't win the title. The car still has to much body roll and the brake pad knockback is still slowing me down. I talked to Kyle Tucker at DSE about my front shocks. I have them 1 click from full hard and the car still rides really nice up front. He has offered to dyno my shocks for free and replace them if they are faulty. He said the car should be really stiff with that setting and they aren't. I'm going to take him up on it. to DSE for nothing but pure professionalism. I'm going to start with the shock dyno and then add a smaller rear bar if that doesn't solve my body roll. I'm not sure where I had my rear shock settings in the photos so that is the only variable.

The car is going to get a floater eventually. While the brakes are there without a pump, they are a little spongy. It's the worst in autocross. I think the axle bearings are wearing and loosening up. I think the fronts are doing more work than they should be. Unfortunately, this will likely require rehooping my rear wheels for less back space to make room for the floating end.

Here are the photos that have me convinced my chassis still needs work:
