Looking for advice for suspension for my 740 Lemons car. This car is 100% driven on track, never street. We had a race at Buttonwillow yesterday and I came to the conclusion that I have outgrown the existing setup. The car is very predictable and easy to drive, but it bounces around corners on the bump stops. I also get pretty bad front tire wear.
Current setup:
'85 740 Wagon - fully gutted and caged
300# springs w/ helpers on stock perch. Bilstein HDs up front
Relocated forward strut mount stud for max caster/camber
~200# cut springs from some Ford and stock KYBs in rear
IPD sway in front, none in rear
Lower bracing in front
I am pretty sure the answer is coilovers with koni race shocks from BNE, but I had a few questions before I fire the parts canon.
Are the shorter race inserts and cut tubes the way to go?
Do I need adjustable strut mounts as well?
Does the coilover setup and mounts provide enough camber for better tire wear, or do I need to extend the lower arms somehow?
Anything else I need?
Am I an idiot?
