Driving Characteristics After Changes

[Track Junky]

So I went on line to figure out how to find leaf spring roll center. Dropped the watts link pivot 2" to match leaf springs and it made a huge difference.

Through new lower Global West control arms in(from original stamped steel ones) and the urethane base that came with the new lower control arms raised the front of the car about an inch and a quarter.

Took the car to Thunderhill and the rear felt great but the front felt like it was working very hard. I think it may have to do with the Z06 wheels and 2" spacers putting more pressure on the spindle, hub and bearings, but it also could have been raised ride height.

Recently chopped the front springs to where normal car ride height up front was(23" from floor to fender lip) and then took one of my CHP buddies out for a ride.

Definitely feels better up front in the corners but then again I was on public roadway and dont like screwing around in that environment so speeds were limited.

Going to try and make Thunderhill on May 7th but my wife will be out of town so I will need to find one of the neighbors to watch the kids.

Trying to set up for Buttonwillow on September 17th and 18th so hopefully I will get one more opportunity to get a track day before then.

Meanwhile, I tried to upload video of my rear suspension but cut it short because I didn't have the patience to wait for a 3 hour upload.
