Haven driven at Laguna Seca for 15+ years, I always felt that when I was going over the top of the Corkscrew at full bore, the Car got really light, then as it landed, it felt like there were at least a couple of G's of load, if not more..

One of my friends managed to get a shot of my Car, just as it hit full compression AND just as I was getting back on the gas HARD... This is what it looks like !!! This is with 600 lb springs in front and 800 lb springs in rear. The Car is very close to touching the ground at various points...

 

WOW! Nice pic, and beautiful car!

 

Graham, that's a money shot right there buddy.

 

NICe bud... You saw my other pic in the picture thread?? Maybe we should name our cars the "squat monsters" hahah... Here's another with me and wild man/member 930man in the passenger seat.. Fastest GT2 pilot I have ever met and known!

 

Squat Monsters??? Not sure if that's going to catch on..

I'm amazed that there's no rubbing from the tires being jammed so high up into the fender wells...

Here are a couple more Cars at the same point in the Corkscrew..



Here's Mikymu, or "Green Mike" as my Girlfriend Sarah calls him

 

Nice pictures, thanks for sharing them!

I haven't been to Laguna Seca in a long time! That brings back some great memories! Nice pic of your car in the OP.

 

Thanks... SUCH a fun Track.. I go there as often as possible.

 

Do you ever go to Sears Point? That is a pretty cool place as well.

 

Yup.. Been going to Sears/Infineon for 15 years as well.. Sears will bite you hard if you screw up though.. Laguna is a bit more forgiving.... Turn 10 at Sears at 99% is a REAL tightener if you catch my drift..

 

Would love to get out there to run on that track, and show me the ropes at Laguna... So farrrrr though

 

Something like... this?? lol


How do those spring rates work for you? I am looking at 700 / 900 right now (car is 2WD these days).

 

COOL Picture !!!!


I think that for my needs (Track and Street) I am going to stick with my 600/800 setup.. It doesn't seem to have any issues on the track, or seem too soft anywhere, yet it's fine for the street when I back my high-speed compression out ... The GT3 RS swaybars do a great job of keeping the Car flat in the corners...

So far, I think the 600/800 setup is spot on...

 

Awesome, beautiful shot!

 

Must agree... They can be setup perfectly for the track, and back breaking stiff if need be, yet the dampening and smoothness on the street (mind you with a good set of shocks/coilovers) is just amazing...

I have 650-850, thought about going up, but IMO this is perfect... The stiffer spring rate (wanted to do 1000) I think will upset the car more than help it when really blazing around a track.. These car's need some give and squat
