Cusco Zero 2 - What damper settings are you using?

[Spunkymonkey]

DC2 VTiR with Cusco Zero 2's

2/2 street (205/45R16 Toyo T1R)

5/5 track (205/50R15 Toyo R888)

i have 12k front/8k rear springs with 22m Whiteline rear sway bar on hardish setting (not full hard)

strutbraces on both ends...

hope this helps

Thanks everyone for the replies.

Thanks Dave. Hopefully get back to the track at some stage. Will run A048's on 195/55 on the stock blades and test out the harder sussy settings....

What times are you lapping wakie at these days with this set up? and any brake upgrades?

best at wakie is 1.13.6

but whilst down on power - should be hitting 1.12's next month...

just running ITR brakes, DBA 400 front discs, braided lines, FerodoDS2500 pads with motul RBF600 fluid...

Cool! Excellent will be great to get my car down there to test it out. I'm running dba 4000 rotors and ferodo ds2500 pads with Castrol GP600 fluid.

Hey guys, so i've had my cusco zero 2 for about 2 weeks. Spring rate for the coils are 10 at front and 8 at back. I have tried two damper settings settings so far.
-1 front and back, i used these settings while the car was still settling in and for a few days after. This setting do feel quit soft but still alot better than my old sussy system which consisted of king springs n stock itr shocks.
Car feels more stable and flat, old sussy system seemd to bounce around alot.
-2 front and back, feels stiffer than the 1 damper settings but still a tolerable setting for daily driving.
One noticeable thing to mention is that my tires haven't screeched so far on "parts" my tires have screeched b4 while i had my old sussy setup.
does any1 use 3 front n back for the daily grind?

i play with my settings all the time
i usually run F2 R3, its not too oversteery and is quite neutral i find
unless u lift off mid corner
but when my rear tyres are bald ( ie after tyre rotation) i go F2 R2 for more balance
on track i usually go F4 R4 or F3 R4 on street tyres.
i think having the rear harder isnt a problem on street providing u know how to handle ur car

i tried semi slicks on F4 R4 and F5 R5 and the car behaves VERY different on 5 - it is much much better

i used to run F3 R3 daily for a while until i got sick of it
i reckon F2 R2 or F2 R3 is the way to go depending on how you like the car to behave

what do you think of spring rates f8 + r6???
would it be stiff?

I got this set up on EGK24A , I used to had b16a and I love cusco zero2 .
very reliable , never had any problems

Its actually pretty comfortable. Its a little on the soft side compared to other coilovers.

I am running 3 front and back and i am used to it for my daily grind lol... turn it down to 2 front and back when I know I'm driving passengers, and or bad quality roads.

update:

i got an "aggressive street" wheel alignment from a top bloke (Peter Hennessy) at Road & Race Performance Pty Ltd in Rydalmere...

he dialled slight toe-in at the rear, and slightly more toe-out at the front and told me my camber was even all around at about -1.5' (he seemed surprised it was so even on a car with so many km on it - i said it was pretty good luck)

i went to wakefield and the car was much more lively!

very responsive to turn in, but very tail happy - leading to unwanted oversteer...

however, all i had to do was reduce the rear damper setting down from 5 to 4 to even this out.

it worked well, and i managed a string of 1:12's laps, with a best of 1:12.7...
