Question
i race a 92 nissan nx 2000 it pushes pretty bad i have a aftermarket sway bar tokiko struts and stock springs it rated at 120lbs and its not progressive i was thinking 400lbs right front and 300 left what do u think the rear is on a bump stop
Hi David :
First , I just got back from a race weekend myself and am dead tired. I'll try to study your question tomorrow sometime and get you a sane answer. In the meantime, how about gathering some more iffo for me, RF & LF camber setting & toe setting and caster setting.
As to the rear, be a little more specific. Just spring rubbers in the springs ro what have you done, and what do the rules allow.
Finally , all FWD cars are going to push a little, it's up to you to decide how loose you waant the back to be.
Get me the info, and send as a follow-up question, we'll go from there.
Thanks,

During my first start in the 60's I won many solo awards and the State Championship Drags. I serve as a senior instructor for SCCA, and have taught in Mercedes AMG events at Daytona, and Dodge Viper Days at Sebring International. I have been in the thick of the competition for all of my career. At one time or another I have driven race cars at speeds nearing 195 MPH. It's quite a ride !
