    Some Notes on Suspension

    Some notes...

    Do not use chassis foam to siffen chassis. Breaks after heavy circuit use and can not be removed
    R32 front chassis is weak in bending and torsion. Add as much bracing as possible , such as Do-luck sub frame connectors and HKS Kansai Kit
    R32 N1 lip rear lip adds a lot of drag for minimal downforce increase use only on short circuits.
    Front wheel bearings and CV boots wear out quickly when using extreme camber. Cool bearing with nitrogen vapor prior to installing into spindle
    Recommends up to 4.5 degrees negative front camber and 1.5 negative rear camber.
    For short circuits use up to 5mm toe out front and 0 toe rear for all circuits.
    For street use he recommends 10kg front and 8 kg rear spring.
    Track use he recommends to reverse them or 10 kg front and rear.
    When using 15-18 kg front - use 2 kg softer rear
    Set up car like front wheel drive car

    I was looking at that Kansai kit, it looks pretty sweet.. 8) I might have to invest in that in the near future!

    If you look under R33- R34.... thats where HKS Kansai got some of their ideas to stiffen the R32 chassis.
