Handling Questions
A recent open track experience, and the pictures afterword, have shown me that my little FIA has a LOT of body roll. The car also pushes in the corners - it has way more understeer than oversteer.
Here was my setup:
Springs / Shocks: factory Unique Carrera's (don't know spring weight).
Tires: Goodyear Eagle GT II's w/23lbs of pressure.
Sway Bars: Front only.
Alignment specs: Unique factory specs
Ride Height: fairly low with no tire rub
So my questions are:
- What is a good starting point to begin making changes? Should I just start with the rear sway bar, then springs/shocks?
- What was the factory spring rate of the Carrera coil overs?
- Have any of you guys found a good spring/shock combo that gives good handling and a somewhat decent ride?
As always, any other general thoughts or input on this subject are welcome.
Here are a couple of pics from the event, where the body roll wasn't so drastic. Needless to say, it was an absolute BLAST, I'm just looking to keep improving my lap times!
