High Speed setups?

[Wobble]

Im wanting to make my car as stable as possable at speeds up to around 150mph or more..


I laready have Tein Springs, and Tokiko shocks, good brakes.. but what else is there?

any type of aerodynamic mods/ special wings (not rice spoilers!) that will help?

150 in a straight line or 150 in a turn?

 

[Wobble]

straight... just wanna keep the car from floating a bit, 150 cornering... well that will come later..

I think you should be okay. Suspension and aerodynamics are really for cornering and won't help you go fast in a straight line. Just make sure your brakes are good.

well some cars ive ridden in seem to start to "float" a bit at high speeds.. at 135 mine feels fine, but i havent been past that yet..

 

[igs]

There's maybe one or two hundred pounds of lift at those speeds, not enough to affect a 3,000 pound car going in a straight line. The "float" you were feeling was probably in your head, the tires or the road.

I bet the float was underdamping.

A front air-dam like this would help at high speeds, right?

 

[jtmcinder]

Not really. The purpose of an airdam like that is to create a partial vacuum under the engine to increase the draw through the radiator. Very useful when road-racing with a FMIC.

that is so ugly.. the sheer uglyness of that mod would cause god to make you go slower out of spite...

 

[igs]

That "airdam" is mounted behind the chin of the front bumper which is the wrong location. There will be a high pressure zone pushing up on the front bumper and lifting your car instead! :thumbdown

So it's both ugly and not functional. That's enough for me. :thumbdown
