Re: Turning in my man card... I want to make the GTRA quieter... best method?

Good info posted... I'm going with the same spring setup 550s front and 350s rear and fresh Konis. I went ahead and got a rear bar because the car pushes like a pig for me at VIR running on Nitto R2s which are a DOT R compound with full tread. I'm not "racing" so I wanted a tire that would last all year for our driving events.

My car scrapes the chassis going through hogs pen at VIR so I know it's sprung too softly. For those that don't know Hog's Pen is the last turn before the front straight. It's a long hard right hander w/ a double apex taken at speeds of 70-90ish mph depending on the car you have.
