what settings, front and rear, did you use on your hotchkis sways?

what is the application? street, autox, road race, etc.

thanks,

jon

 

i have a coupe and i am running full stiff front, and medium rear. i have a 245/275 20" tire package, and this feels very well balanced for the street. since you have 9.5/10.5 wide rims, i would do the same. i wouldn't go full stiff on the rear. this is not a direct comparison, however, since you have the flex system which stiffens the car up substantially.

I'm running full SOFT in the front and MIDDLE in the rear. This is a great setup on the street.

 

Middle hole in front ( medium )
Soft Far Hole in back. ( soft )

Have to kick the rear out someway.

Go to corner, don't brake, just turn.

I use Medium +32% front and Soft +54% rear ( that is over stock)

350Zteve is 9% over front and +92% rear - If he is in rain - slick he will spin.

Don't let the rear do it all.. I tried it in the rain this weekend... O.K.

Great thread and great answer Amy. My Hotchkis bars are coming in soon and I was pondering this very question.

 

i was tempted to run full hard in the rear cuase i want to kick the end easier - is this flawed reasoning.

even with m y flex at 0,0 i still feel loose for daily cornering.
