hey guys wats going well im going to be joining scca soon this summer and im gonna built my suspension for it but i was wondering wat are the stock lateral g's on a v8 rs thirdgen?and here my setup, moog iroc springs,sphon racing sway bars ,strut tower brace from edelbrock,kyb agx all around and 17*9.5 rims plus wat i already have

 

it all depends on the tires, and the driver.

i have seen the .92g mark tossed around in reference to a 92 RS with the F41 option.

jut a note, in racing (i assume auto-x here) the driver is the most important part. with sticky tires, and a great driver, anything can get around the course fast

 

any clues what my 89 later g's are?

 

Assuming everything is in good condition, an 89 RS should be able to pull between .82 and .86 Gs without a problem. Anything less is not indicative of a thirdgen and there is some sort of fundamental problem.

 

Tires are THE crucial element here. Throw some R compounds on 16' wheels and you'll wonder why you bought all those suspension mods. Plus you'll understand why you need track time w/ an instructor.

 

guys im going to buy a set of moog oem springs here is some info on them

Front - 649 @ load height
Rear - 107 @ load height


wat does the load weight mean?will it stiffen my car for more better all around performance?

 

one magazine just did an article concerning suspension upgrades on an rs. ill try and did it up tomorrow, or do a search, i read about it on here, and went and bought it

 

Chevy High Perfromance did a bunch of suspension mods to a late model thirdgen camaro.

 

I agree with srdynamics, I put Bfg R1's on my 86 years ago while doing solo 2, and pro solo. Nothing else I did suspension wise made as much a difference as those tires. I have Kuhmo victoracers now very sticky too. I used one of those g-tech's from a friend, and it showed .97g. I just need more power to come off the corners..at least in a straight line.

 

F1s.


do you really need any other tires? :lala:


i just wish i had the money to keep buying them.. lol.

 

so bf goodrich ri are good?wat are f1 goodyear?

 

Agreed. I can't even describe how much I love my Eagle F1 GS tires. They work well with our cars. The only complaints I hear about them are when they are used on heavier cars and some fully optioned 4th gens.

 

I never used Eagle F1 tires, but I love my BFGoodrich G-Force TA KDW. It feels like I can hit an off ramp as fast as I want to.

 

so wats better? bf r1 or gforce ta or goddyear?
