I'd like to ask your advice on some coilovers I'm ordering next week. This is the only big budget item that's going on my car, at least this year, and I want to get it right the first time around.
The intended usage is a Daewoo Nubira that will see track time. Nubira's have four wheel strut suspension, so the motion ratio should be in the neighborhood of 1. The car will weigh about 2600 lbs with me in it when it hits the track this year. I'm running 195/55/15 street tires right now, but I'm looking to get some track cast off R compounds. I probably can't afford adjustable valving, but since Nubiras are weird, the company has to custom make them anyway.
Since the track I'm going to run is pretty bumpy all over and particularly bumpy on the fast sweeper leading to the front straight, I was thinking of asking for them to use the stiffer shock valving for something a little bigger, like a Sonata or Genesis Coupe, in conjunction with spring rates used on something lighter, like an Accent, like 350/250 lb inch. I don't plan to drop the car any more than an inch and a half. Is this a good plan?
I've never done this before, so please tell me if I'm being stupid. Thanks.
