I was wondering if some of you guys could offer me some advice with suspension / tyre set up for track days.
I am currently mid-way through a road legal track car and having some issues mainly with my front suspension set up.
They are GAZ coilovers and I am running some vauxhall 15" rims ET49. They seem to be very close to each other at the moment. Do you track guys run similar set ups with spacers or maybe different wheels with different ET's. Tyre size on the front at the moment is 195/60x15.
Also on the rear I have some decent Bilstein shocks and what looks like standard springs. Again, what would you suggest is a good set up for the track. I don't really what to be paying for coilovers on the rear at present, but should I lower the springs and if so by what amount.
Many thanks for your help
