Clio 172 vs 997 GT3, Nürburgring 8:44 BtG Nordschleife

Still sorting out the suspension which is not quite right yet, some horrific tire rub after overaking the Rent4Ring Suzuki Swift. Obviously the Porsche can be driven faster, but luckily for me it was driven at the right pace for a long chase. Car was modified by Power-Plus.be and Rent4Ring.de

Did you ever get sorted out with your suspension set-up on the kw's? I run the V2's and was at the Ring last summer in a 172 cup/ragnotti. I know what settings work well with these around the ring so let me know if you need any help.

@marcusbabitoni Hey thanks! Saw your comment just now. I'm currently on 3/4 turn on the front and 1/4 at the rear. Camber is around 2.5 at the front and the standard 1.3 at the rear. What do you use? :)

Nice work! that looked like quite an easy 8.44 dial some of that bobbing out and a clear track should be an 8.30 something no trouble.

@anarky277 Thanks for the tip. So I should stiffen the damping a bit? Only the rebound is adjustable. In general the KW V2 seems a bit too comfort oriented to be optimal for the track.

[anarky277]

KW V2 are a quality coil over, stiffening the rebound should sort the bounce.

My lap was done on basic shocks I now have similar to the KW's and the improvement is massive! Dont forget the Ring does need forgiving suspension.

See you in August, I'll have green wheels.... cheers
