Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 Mike, I did my own custom setup with the Tein EDFC. I'll admit, after months of fiddling I've got a setup that works very well on the road and can easily be tweaked for the track. My setup is a bit more aggressive than Keith and Dave's, I spent quite a lot of time getting to grips with it, with a good amount of input from Yukiko. I do have a copy of my setup, which I think is on the forum somewhere. Will see if I can find it for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 You're welcome to use my settings, but note I always work in km/h, for speed settings, so you'd need to convert to mph if you are so inclined! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tareim 343 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 what's the speed part all about, have you set it to lower the car the faster you go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike-p 116 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 Might come and see you on the airfield!? Whats the deal with getting on it? Is it an organised thing? Or just a free for all? Jay, it's a private road, which is used by locals, no-one seems to monitor its usage on the weekends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 26, 2015 This is a good fast road setup. What it does is go full soft at slow speed, then stiffens up as you increase your speed. The damping force on the lateral G is more than the stock settings, which means it firms up very quickly, which is great. I've settled on this setup for the last 8 months. When I go on track I just turn off the speed setting and start it off at 40-35 depending upon the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the lateral G you want to work on the track. As I have no need for it to be soft at low speeds I start it off at 40 or so. at full stiffness it will go up to around 10 and you need to leave a bit for braking settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 442 Report post Posted March 27, 2015 Well done Lauren, publishing your data. Each to his own on suspension. Pitman's and mine were specifically developed for f/i cars and I use both G-force and speed settings on track as well as road. The adjustability will be more important this year as I hope to develop the aero forces a bit more.. (1) ... I'm still looking for a pre-owned Bugatti Veyron rear air dam if anyone's got one sitting about doing nothing..? (1) ... if I ever get on track. Sob.

Bles 32 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Hi Have just been reading this and would like to ask can you turn the active pro off to stop the suspension stiffening up at speed. Reason I ask is wife may not agree it's better. Many thanks Rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lauren 2259 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Why don't your publish your's and Dave's data, Keith? I can sort of see why you could use speed settings on track, but you'd be using a small range of speed adjustment, because if you start off at 40 or so, it's already pretty stiff. There's no benefit to being softer than 40 at lower speeds that I can see, so trackwork seems to negate the speed settings to a large extent. On the road I use the speed settings as it makes sense there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 Does your settings start allow the car to squat backwards when you launch off the line or does it still stiffen up because of the G meter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rob275 1817 Report post Posted March 28, 2015 yes simply just don't get the EDFC Active kit Well that doesnt answer his question lol! Rod, you can turn the edfc off completely if you want or have it on with a static setting. Your wife can have a preset soft setting and you can have a stiffer setting for fast road. Best of both worlds without having to manually adjust the damping 1 Bles reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best of both worlds without having to manually adjust the damping it does it one way, if you don't have the kit then you don't get the option to adjust the stiffness as you go faster so its constant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
