Not sure about those tires, but with CS27's in Vegas we ran PW's asphalt setup with a oneway and a couple minor changes to adjust to the increasing grip through the week.

mutley, has anyone actually seen any of those tyres yet?? I was told this afternoon that not that many had been seen...............
anyway, i have been working on a carpet set-up with rubbers. So far, i would say go with either PW's asphelt setup of Teemu's euros setup as your base. I have then gone up 4lb on front spring, and fitted a one-way. Have only done one club race so far, so i wouldn't say my set-up is finished, but that is where i am at the moment.

I ran the ING tires a couple of years ago on carpet, not sure what temp rating, but the setup was close to the 27's. I found they went away a little quicker the the 27's

Are you guys making some sort of modification to get 2 degrees of toe in in the rear or are there blocks that allow for that setting? If there are blocks please send a part number.

JON KERR: hey there! thanks for e-mailing me your current set-up... i have a few questions though, how did you attain a front roll center of 2mm & a rear roll center of 3mm... is this thru the riser plates? at the front arm position, is this the wheelbase position of the arms? thanks!
10-18-2005, 10:21 PM
No Problem. Happy to help. Front roll center of 2mm is just the riser plate. 3mm roll center is the riser plate plus a 1mm shim under each pivot block. And yes, the front arm position is the wheelbase adjustment on the front arms.

Why running so high of a roll center? Whats the difference from 2 to 3mm ?
10-18-2005, 10:28 PM
3mm isn't all that high. Some of the guys have run 4mm in low grip situations. You usually want to run about a 1mm higher roll center in the rear. When I need more steering and lower the front roll center to 1mm, I'll usually lower the rear to 2mm to keep the balance.
10-18-2005, 10:33 PM
Hmm I didnt know that.. I usually just run 1mm spacers up front and the stock plate in the rear and it has worked fine for mostly all the tracks out here.

I guess i'll go with PW's setup and modify from there too!
Let you know how I get on on Sunday.....
