I already had a pretty soft car compared to my can am set up. 2.5 front springs/2.6 rear. 1.3 front sway bar/1.2 rear. Wide track width in rear. 5.2/5.4 ride height and 5.2/4.4 droop. I went down to 2.3 rear springs and it didn't really help. I was/am at a loss. so hopefully some good suggestions come out of the conversation as i'll be looking to try something different. Im thinking its a roll center issue for me.
After thinking about this for a bit, I think it might be two things:
- Effective increase in suspension travel due to USGT tire height "ballooning" as the tire rotates.
- Perhaps this requires a reduction in travel, i.e. a higher down stop value
- The goal would be to, under power, get similar effective suspension up-travel capabilities as my TC.
- Too much negative camber for shape of the USGT tire.
- I have -2 on my USGT just like my TC, mainly because every TC setup I've ever seen has -2.
- Based on the shape of the tire, the effective contact patch doesn't allow the sidewalls to reach the carpet, and thus the glue is somewhat useless.
- Standing the tire up more (0 or -1) camber might allow the tire to contact the glued sidewall and slide instead of grab the "round contact patch forever" part of the tire.
Thoughts?
