Hey guys,

Im going to get my suspension fitted early next week - got the whiteline f & r sway bars and front castor adjuster - what sort of settings should I say to them? Ive got the bilstein shocks and white line springs package already fitted - need these new mods to work well, car is used mainly on street but with track days around once a month.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!!

Chris

I'd start with soft/soft on the sway bars and work from there. If it under steers, tighten the rear. If it over steers tighten the front.

If you have a gtst then I'd go for as much caster as you can get without the tyres scrubbing when you turn the wheel. I go even side to side with no ill effects on the street.

yep. ask for max castor they can get. as for bars, me personally would start with front to full soft and rear to 1 step up from soft. :D

rear is a piece of cake to get to, just jack up the back and you're away.

Front requires removal of the wheels to get at the links easily (atleast in a 32) and it can be a little awkward getting the link in and out of the bar.

As the baron has eluded to, you'll probably find the car under steers with both bars at soft initially and so you will be tightening the rear up.

tyres - true! :laugh:

On the street, they hold well as for 1. I hardly take the car out and 2. no point pushing it too hard!

However I'll most likely be using those federals 595RS's which has been posted in this forum section!

Thanks again :)

Chris

done and done :(

Car feels fantastic!

They put the fronts on medium and rears on hard

and max castor

had to go through Galston Gorge (NSW people would know this road!) the other day - car never felt so alive!

Still going to take a bit of getting used to - as I did find, got on the gas a wee bit early and the rear stepped out - but that was silly anyway :ninja:

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
