Fellow Racing Engineers-
Under the a$$umption that I can go and stop fast enough now... and
perhaps a CRB might be just sitting in Pauls garage waiting for me;  I
would like to solicit some thoughts on coilovers, lowest possible ride
height, proper sway bar size and ideas on what would be theee best
suspension to turn the urS into a go cart?
WRT coilovers; are there any preferred brands?  i.e.
http://www.kwsuspensions.com/
Is there something that will work for street and then firm up and add
neg. camber for track?
And to fully expose my ignorance, are sway bars suppose to just keep
wheels square with the road?
If we're setting up the urS suspension, how would it be set up for track
yet still be able to be adjusted for everyday use?
What variables are in the equation?  i.e. car weight, height, width,
wheelbase, tire size???
It's, no doubt, crazy trying to get these behemoths to zig and zag, but
of course that's the challenge.  Perhaps we need some nascar parts?
TIA
Cheer's
