BAD Handling DC2 Integra Type R

[teggzy]

Maybe on the track for high speed stability when using street tyres, on the street that would just be ridiculous.

I still wouldn't put 50psi cold anyway.

Yeah I'm not going to do it, specially on a day like today. Most likely toe is out, causing me to lift off over steer, like i said, ill report back after i get the wheel alignment

Tyre size you've got isn't right for the DC2R (205/55/15). On stock rims, you should be using 195/55/15. Will also affect your speedo and gearing, but these tyres combined with 45psi isn't helping the handling.

im not sure why tinker keeps going on about the tyre pressure being too high...

it's because I know what i am talking about.

[teggzy]

it's because I know what i am talking about.

I understand, but even adrian from toda/tekno was telling me, put the tyre pressure higher... to 50 psi... don't get me wrong, he knows you and he said you know your stuff and you probably are making sense... I'm just not able to communicate the message across properly. I'll upload alignment sheet once i do it.

YOU SHOULD NOT RUN 50PSI ON THE STREET.

EVER.

some people might recommend doing it at the track, but only because you don't have proper track tyres...

[tinkerbell]

yep.

i am 100% out.

I mean, it even says it inside on the door card :/

[teggzy]

yep.

i am 100% out.

He knew i wasn't tracking my car though!!

Tink is correct! You want to aim for around 33-36 psi HOT. I use a 35 profile tyre and set at 29 psi COLD and that works for me in my car. Side wall flex means the contact patch of the tyre is good but a balance between that grip and a squishy feel/response is up to the driver.

Anything above 40 is for trucks! Too much pressure makes the car bounce over the road surface coursing a loss of grip. This adding to your stiff springs is not giving the tyres a chance to grip the road surface!

The front of the car has more weight therefore more pressure to TRY to get grip, the rear of the car is much lighter therefore it is braking loose first.

Theirs a lot more to it but get the basics correct first.

This has got to be a wind up.

Max tyre pressures are typically 50-55psi. Pumping to 50psi?

had a quick read of the thread. i had an over steer issue with my track car. my problem was that the rear sway and coils were too stiff. once i softened everything up it drove really well.

that doesn't sound like your issue though since you dont even have a sway bar on the back. however your definitely doing the right thing by getting a wheel alignment. whenever you change anything for your suspension you get a wheel alignment. you changed both the sway bar and coil-overs.. your alignment is going to be way outv whack.

50 psi cold is ridiculous on the street. you will have even less grip!. my f150 doesn't even run that much. you usually want 32-36 HOT...

anyway thats my 2 cents.

[teggzy]

so you put race-only spec suspension on your car and wonder why it handles like shit???

maybe put the stock stuff back on before you kill yourself?

(at least with your 16/9 you will be understeering into the armco, rather than spinning across the surface backwards...)

Hey tinker,i know you dont want to reply to this thread, but i put my tyre pressure down to 34 in the front and 32 in the rear and i am experiencing some solid understeer.... this is just from a few tests done around some private roads around where i live.


Thanks for the advice, hopefully the wheel alignment helps

Up the rear 2psi at a time and see how it goes.

I still don't get the whiteline 24mm front ARB? Can't find much info on it. Don't know why you would swap a stock 24mm for an aftermarket one

The thickness of the sway bar isn't the only factor that determines its effect. design, construction, solid/hollow, adjustability anchor points all have a say on its function.

Return as much to stock as possible - as you de-mod, you should be able to it figure out.

Start with the same tyre pressure all round...and I would test on the track rather than on "private roads".
