Cheapest prices for Semi-comp Rubber?

[Al]

Am also interested to know the prices for the RE55's

YES Matt, answer the damn question!

[adznight]

G-Attack R-tune I can adjust the spring damper rates on the dial on the top of the struts.. but I to adjust the camber u need camber plates or a camber kit..

Yes Troy, answer my PM punk!

Roy, what's a good camber setting you would recommend? I think the stock camber is set at 1 degree... so maybe increase of 1-2 degrees negative? I want about 3 deg. negative on the front.

My car is heading into centerline next Friday to have the suspension installed and the rest of the setup done so I'll let you know how I go. What did you pay for the R-tune's if you dont mind me asking? New or used?

LOL...dont ask me. I played with my susp settings trying to gain a second or two and went backwards.

Depending on the castor etc you are running, i found 3.5 deg way too much. The car had alot of mid corner push/ understeer. I think it came back to the fact that there wasnt enough tyre patch on the road, as running plenty of castor gives you dynamic camber when you turn the wheel, so running too much static camber just reduces the amount of tyre in contact with the road whereby hurting braking/traction.

Onmy car 2.5deg C seemed to work well. BUT thats my car which has swaybars, different ride heights etc etc so your car will most likely be different. If you want to get close first go talk to an expert, when i started playing my cars handlign went backwards, but at least i learnt what doesnt work and why

Ill have a temp probe to measure tyre face temps ont he day, so will soon get an idea of you are workign the tyres properly

But 4wd cars dont seem to have near the appetite or sensitivity to killing semi comps

is it that or cause he drives like a girl?

so on the top parts of the suspension in the engine bay which things do u move?

the nuts and stuff on the left of the damper adjustment nob or on the right???

[ylwgtr2]

You running Nismo's too? R tune or S tune?

 

Was gonna say my R's dont have camber adjust and I didn't think any did!

 

Troy - When you looking at making these up?

will be making these in the next few weeks

Do Cefiros run susp similar to the S13? ie Struts v wishbones? Sounds like they might. What shocks are you running, and im assuming you have adjustable strut tops.

If so then yeh you can tweak camber using that plate looking thingie that the shock top pokes through, and then you may be able to change the rebound etc of the shock by tweaking the knob on top of the shock body. Make sense?

Any idea how much you will be selling them for?

well I did see a blue r34 with about an inch of tread missing on the outside of the front right. Those 4wd cheater just get to rotate rims all around so they can make them wear better. But its still the same problem, the car rolls onto the shoulder of the tyre
