Can some one give me any idea? Is the setup which I did tottaly wrong for more steering . Today I ordered the new wos steering blocks hope that will work.
if you want more steering just shorten your car by 2 mm it still will have the stablity but it will be more aggressive. itf you want more narrow your car to 250 front and 260 rear . and yes 45 degress on rear sway bar. also 45 wt shock oil front and rear.reduce rear toe in to 2 deg and raise your rear roll center to the middle. these thing in combination will add a lot of steering to your car but control able. start here i do have more thing you can do butthis will help alot. oh yeh i dont know what tiresyou run i dont run anything softer than 38"s but i have run 40's on a low bit with very good results witha 6.5 split with 68 mm front and 74.5 rear .5 rack angle. ride height 7 front 7.5 rear the most important thing was the central lola it is the best body by far that is available . and there isn't a close second. i saw a new body that will be out in a month or two that looks close but the central is the one. it makes life simple irun my rear shocks on he bottom holes on the shock tower that also frees up the car
