Default Are you running AS? More....

Are you running in AS? I have used to race my sponsored Acura integra in ACCA road racing and autocross events in the past.

Skipped 5 years and now back on my feet ready to compete the S4 in AS.

How's S4 compare to Honda S2000 in AS?
I noticed seeing some A4 in SoloII event, the front wheels lack of negative camber and start to wear differently from inside to outside width of the tire.
Do you feel a strong under steer? I watched the S2000 went through the corners and the car handles well.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Default See this recent thread...

The good news is that it won't be in AS next year.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/424878.phtml">S4 & SCCA Solo2</a></li></ul>

Default I run 38 F and 42 R with Kumho v700's...

It seems the lower I can go in the front, the more balanced the car seems. Thats not to say it doesn't undertsteer, but it's better. I run A Stock.

Default I have a hard time with the S2000's...Well one in particular...

I have come in 2nd the last 3 races to the same guy, but I have gotten to within a couple of tenths. We are both running Kumho V700's. The other S2000's that don't have the tires aren't a problem.

The car understeers all day long. With the low front tire pressure, I've been able to get some of the understeer out, but not completely. I'm going with Koni adjustables, so I can dial up the rears real hard and balance the car a little more. Nothing is going to make the car neutral, that is and stay in stock class
