Grip...who is into it?

[QUOTE]they are light weight, have full cages, semi slicks and run on smooth race tracks and even then they only run a 400lb spring when they are at the tightest most demanding circuits with lots of directional change.i think you need to understand, what might not be perfect for the street, does not necessarily matter to people who track their cars regularly, What works for someone on the street, wont bother someone who doesnt go to the track.

I do believe 8 and 6 can be a little on the stiff side for most people, but if they enjoy it who cares. It might have been the only thing that could get a hold of cheaply, or what ever, most drift, it works good for drift. But in the end im not sure what dampeners you have driven in, but when i run mine rock hard my car sails on the street like its made of silk and the springs don't fight at all.

yet again another fight has become of a thread.....

i remember reading somewhere that the quickest way around a corner was with a very small amount of sliding, so not purely "grip".

but apparently its such a small amount that its too difficult to control (especially when you are racing with other cars on small tracks) thats its not worth striving for it.

i dunno how much merit it has, but seems reasonable.

Probably the fastest way, but not the best for tire conservation I reckon.

rofl.... ive found the only difference between lap times the same as a circuit skyline GTR and drifting is wether or not i pull the handbrake on and how much throttle i try to use coming out of a corner.. so called (too stiff for drift) springs have been awesome in circuit use, lap times quicker than a 400hp gtir pulsar on semi slicks and soo many other so called circuit cars that are really quick.

i find this to be true 4 wheel slides only slightly in a rwd car but tyres over heat after 4 laps or so
