Racing Setup (suspension)

[Kaido_RR]

Hey

I'm looking for some advice on setting up my suspension (rebound and damper adjustment), I'm currently running Tein Type RS (10/10 spring rate) in my R33 Gtst, I have not play with the tein yet and have set both the rebound and damper to the softest setting.

I will be taking my car to a track this coming Friday and would like to spend some time fine tuning the suspension while there, The car will mainly be used for drift events, however i would like to go for a neutral/balance setup first and then adjust according for my drift events.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how i should go about adjusting both the rebound and damper and the effects it will have on my car? I don't mind doing some reading so if there is any good books out their for setting up suspension please let me know.

Other information about the car: Potenza RE001r, nismo swaybars, nismo arms, RG Castor Rods, Ik tie-rods, still running HICAS, Minor weight removal, nismo 2way lsd, subframe bushes (set into the grip postion)

Alignment setup

F: -2.5 degree camber

7 Degrees Castor

1 or 2 mm toe out (can't remember

R: -1degree camber (or around that)

Also If i need adjustments to my alignment setup, please give me your opinions

Thanks

Those springs rates seem quite high, not sure what they should be for a GTS-t but in my GTR I have around 7kg/mm. I would have Whiteline or Selby swaybars instead of the Nismo variants to allow for some adjustment there.

the spring rate works very well with my current setup, no plans to change any of the suspensions compents at this time as I do like the way the car feels on the track just needs fine tuning
