Default Do you have the last 2 KitCar mags

PaulProe Paul if you have the last 2 Kitcar mags, Dean Lampe goes into this procedure on setting up the front end. The rearend should be the same. I have not seen a IRS from a Supercoupe but all you have to do is change a solid rod or link to a threaded one. Speedway selld Heim joints, couplers and threaded rods for maken your own setup. Replace the rear link with your adjustable one and retest up the rearend. You didn't say if you are street driving or autocrossing or roadracing. The suspension is going to be totally different for each one. Just springs alone can be 150-200 lbs different between street and autocrossing. Shocks and alignment are different too. Have you tryed the Supercoupe clubs? Someone there must be roadracing or autocrossing their car and have suspension modes done. As long as the weights for the 4 corners are setup right and a 48-52% weight of front to rear end with your wieght in the drivers seat, you will be in the ball park for a balanced car. I toe in may Jag rearend 1/32" and have the thrust line of the car at "0". This will get you close to perfect. You really need to read tire temps after running the car and see what the car needs in changes of toe, camber, and caster. Rick L.
