IRS and 3-way adjustables
Discussion
I emailed Nitron for some advice but had no reply. I intend to do some research but no doubt there will be sound advice from the good people here.
I bought my set of Nitrons nearly 2 years ago! My engine blew before i fitted them and the full chassis rebuild began at this time. The car is getting very close to turning a wheel under its own power again so i want to think about setting up my suspension.
As i spend a lot of my time at the drag strip i bought 3-ways for the rear on advice that i can fine tune the low speed damping.
I fit the shocks as Nitron supplied. I aim to take the car to TrackvRoad for a full geo set up as soon as i can. I obviously wont be driving the car on the road until this is done.
My spring rates were decided at the time at 375/325 IIRC.
So any advice please on a starting point to my settings. If anybody also has advice on the geo set up to aid the drag racing launches then all the better.
Oh i copied this from a TVR thread (no joy yet). The car is a TVR Chimaera that runs on MT Street ETs and is treated a dose of nitrous, 400lb/ft+ and 1060kg. Previously ran 11.6, aiming for 10's.

I'll say the same as I said to Brummie, speak to Jon @ Webster Race Engineering for chassis setup for the 1320..

Cheers, ive emailed Jon and mentioned you.Jon suggest letting TrackVRoad do the initial set up as planned and then suggests i attend one of his Santa Pod Friday test days.
There is only 1 between now and the TVR shootout in July and i cant see me being able to make it.
So its back to any advice other than test at track, record results and settings, then testing to see what works and what doesn't.
