Here's my setup I'm using for now. It's last season's Okayama set with a couple tweaks. No idea if it's good or not, but it feels good to me. I'm running mid/low :05s with an :04.2 optimal. Again, I have no idea if that's good or not. It does have some push, but puts power down well, and brakes well. Suggestions welcome. www.dropbox.com/s/8w5nv7plze6okha/Suzuka.sto?dl=0 |

i gave it a whirl, tire pressures are a bit high and had to make a couple changes to suit my style. The set is pretty stable and a great starting spot for our guys
thanks

Thanks Tony. What would you recommend for pressures?

try to have them in the 26.5 to 27.5 range hot,so after 7 or 8 laps when you know they won't get much hotter, might want to look at starting 20-21 cold
for qulaifying you can run a little higher pressure and get them up in 2-3 laps

For once the OSR Development set feels awesome to me.

Suggestions welcome. www.dropbox.com/s/8w5nv7plze6okha/Suzuka.sto?dl=0 Hey Jason, I finally gave it a spin tonight. I agree with Tony, feels good except the tire pressures are way too high. I prefer to run even lower than my team mates (19.5 to 20) and max hot pressures out at 26 or 26.5. I'm also a little slow to get going so Tony's advice might be better. The brake bios was a bit high for my liking too. Tends to heat the front tires and kill them on a long run. For myself, I'll probably just run my Road America setup. It may not be supper fast, but it's comfortable to me and that's probably more important than anything. That and keeping the tires alive/cool. Good luck Tuesday. |

John Emerson who ran away with the win in the top split V8 Americas race last week shared a setup for Suzuka. I haven't tried it yet as I am still at work, so use at your own risk. Here it is: 15S1 Suzuka R John Emerson.sto (2.07 KB) I'm reading good reviews about the OSR setup also. Their setups are usually very stable. I have been using them the last couple of races. Here is the OSR setup: 15S1 Suzuka R OSR.sto (2.17 KB) |

I had dropped the pressures a bit but forgot to update the shared set. I have now updated it. Now it's running right around 27 hot. I also agree with the brake bias, but when I move the bias back to help preserve the front tires, I lose much of my trail braking ability. You could call that compensating for some skill.  |

With less front bias your trail braking should improve, not get worse. The front tires will have less weight on them and will turn better. You will have to adjust your braking point slightly or how you are using the brakes to compensate.

The front bias is to help compensate for my heavy foot. I think that's a result of needing more practice and experience. The problem is I'm finding time for more practicing.
Edit: I think I may need to play with the bias anyway. I cooked the fronts pretty good chasing Jim last night. Towards the end of the first stint I was really struggling to get the car slowed down and through the turns.
