Im currently running the 205s and 225s Hankook Z214 AX tires. Even in the middle of the Texas summers they never overheated if I kept the pressures under 24 psi hot. Im wondering if running 225/45/15 front and 275/35/15 rear Hoosier A6s would be more of a detriment because the car is so light or should I just stick with the current size. I do have room for them under the fenders. The car is still an angry 2056 but will hopefully get a bump to 2270 or 2316 this winter. Thoughts?

Yes same course. That is the entry into the first left hand sweeper and there is a cone on the other side of the car. The setup feels great but I'm maxed out on the front 19mm swaybar. I am thinking about going up a size on the torsion bars to 22mm so I can ease off the swaybar A bit and gain some adjustability.

I've got one from Smart Racing that allows for about 6 or 8 settings. You change the tortion bar between either side and secure a bunch more adjustability in a number of ranges. For autoxing I have the lightest bar, adjustable from 60 to 110lbs if I remember correctly. |
