Suspension Time?

This data has been hashed over many times. If you do a search both here and on Pro-Touring you'll see it all.
I'm not trying to state that we have a race car on street tires, I'm only trying to provide some test data as most companies don't.
Please review the posts and make your own decision, that is all I ask.

A search showed up with nothing, I searched before I posted(although as active as this site is I definitely could have used the wrong terms or missed something). Do you have telemetry with segment times? That would show fairly accurately sustained G's.

Just for the record my car was measured on a 60 foot concrete skid pan, on slicks, tires up to temp, with the average of 6 runs in both directions. To be exact it was (1.226*60)/7.356^2 . On asphalt there's no way my car could do that.

This testing was done back in 2006 (or 2007, somewhere around there), so posts this old are hard to find.
Here's one:

I just checked and the data is no longer linked on our site. I'll see if we can find it.

It's interesting to look back at what we were doing then compared to what we are doing now. With the suspension mods we've made and a HUGE upgrade in shocks and tires I'm sure we'd best the previous marks by quite a bit. I want to do more data acquisition this summer, but with baby #2 on the way I will likely be stuck at home and not on the road as much as I'd like!

I hope it works good cause I just purchased the Ridetech stage 2 coilover kit with front and rear sway bars. I'm getting excited... I've never owned and older hotrod that could handle. Its always been about drag racing.

And I think you will be extremely happy with what you bought. RideTech makes a hell of a good shock and suspension setup. I dont want to make it seem like im attacking Brit or Ridetech, its just that I love this ****, I read complicated engineering manuals and do computer and real world setups for fun. I cant think of a better way to burn money than making my horseless carriage faster than yours
