Re: G-Tech Readings

[16v Jason <jason@scirocco.org>]

Ken,

        

Momentary
readings don't unfortunately mean much.  Something like a pavement
irregularity or even a bump can produce readings much higher than
that.

        

You have
to set the G-Tech to meausure the max sustained G-Force... it'll measure
the highest G-Force you sustained for 3 seconds or more, and it's much
more of an accurate reading.  Just make sure you're on absolutely
level ground.

        

FWIW, my
16V lowered with H&Rs and Konis, 195/50-15 Bridgestone Potenzas
pulled 0.96 in one direction and 0.95 in the other with just me in the
car and the suspension on full hard.  With a passenger (Daun), the
suspension on full soft, and on slippery asphalt, the result was *only*
0.94.

        

Now,
that's better than any production car on the road.  WOOHOO!!!
:)
