Track guys-new coilover kit or sleeves on my hts?

[OTB]

I appreciate the input.

It seems like the H&R's come with mystery spring rates, no damping adjustability, and a claimed rear ride height that is higher than the micro image springs. More rake may decrease understeer, but my ride heights front/rear balance (with large rear swaybar) make a pretty neutral car right now. It's just a neutral car that is quite tall.

Damping adjustability has served me quite well, to speed up the valving for street and slow it down for track.

it's been a long day, so if I'm on crack let me know....

Well you didn't say damping adjustments was something you wanted... There are still lots of options out there, certainly you can find one that does what you want.

We custom built our stuff, between the shocks and dozens of pairs of springs, it is likely twice the cost of anything on the market. That does not even begin to cover the time installing and removing everything multiple times to get it just right. Buy, don't build... Unless you need to eek out every tenth of a second on the track.

You do know that just dumping the front is not the best thing, you go to low and you mess up the roll center and create a lot of bump steer.

yeah, you are right, I better be careful how much time I spend trying to make a non-competitive Z production car into a non-competetive Y production car.
