Hello all, after some advice from you track day gurus

Been thinking about buying some slicks to use on the front wheels, and r888's on the rear, discuss...

Thought this may be a good way to do it as running slicks on the rear wont get any heat in them in our cars.

I have heard that you need to set your car up differently if running slicks, if so, what needs to be changed/adjusted?

Any advice appreciated

Thanks

Ok, will stick with what I have then if I should keep the same all round.

Last time I was at Rockingham though it felt like the back end wanted to get away through some corners and when I came in the fronts were roasting hot and the rears were cold.

I only ended up having the one session in the end, I was going to adjust them for the next one to see if it made a difference.

To be honest, I dont think I help myself with the current suspension setup, the rear needs work!

Front:

- KW V2 Coilovers
- RichW Roller bearing wishbone bushes
- OMP upper strut brace
- Toyo R888 tyres

Rear:

- Stffer than standard rear beam mounts
- Bilstein rear shocks
- Yoko A048 tyres

I aim to get the following sorted out for next summer though, which should help a lot:

- Hybrid arb
- bigger torsion bars (xsara 21mm probably)
- Solid mounts
- Adjustable rear shocks
- Beam rebuild

In all fairness I would rather have some understeer than oversteer

I found it to be ok though, felt very good, and certainly much better (less understeer) compared to the old Avo/Eibach setup I ran.

The reason I put the 48's on the rear is they were part worn, and the 888's were new. Thought it made sense and the rears take ages to wear down

why put the a048's on the rear?

and dont see why you cant get heat in rears unless you bought hard slick's?

even my 205 can warm the rears,

or you drive like a girl...lol
