Tokico D-Spec setting for track day?
I spent some time searching and did not find anything specifically pertaining to the setting of the D-spec shocks for "Track" use. I have the 350Z D-Specs(4f 5r for daily driving) and 350Z H-Techs installed on my coupe. Next month i will be going to do a road course event and am unsure what I should start my settings out at. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

that might net you better turnability than just stiffing up your dampers.
stiffing up the sus does not equal better handling.

Get sway bars while you still got time. Stiff shocks will not help with body roll.
Start with 3-3.5 at the track and work them up in 1/4 turns.
I ended at 1.5/2, but I have different springs and track layout will matter too.

If you happen to find any of those discussions please point them out to me.Thanks for the advice I will start out with the front stiffer than the rear and see how that feels.
Thanks again everyone.
