Hahaahahhaha nice photoshop
ok here's what happend the last few months:
After my suspension problems i started to search for a solution. Main thing i wanted to try is to maximize suspension travel.
Maximum suspension travel before (passenger side jacked up)
intended suspension travel (driver side jacked up)
while checking the suspension i noticed some play in the steering. steering arms worn out..
so i decided to replace both steering arms.
To maximize suspension travel i ordered a new pair of tender springs which are 20mm longer than the ones that came with the coilover kit
checked the lsd differential for possible problems and had the opportunity to make en oil change and replace seals.
than ordered new springs for the rear to also modify suspension travel
found a lot of rust
front driver side
rear driver side
and sorted out
front
and rear
found a way to reduce weight by changing the springs on the front
original coilover spring set: 1'159g
new spring set, longer tender srping, short main spring: 1015g! saved 144g per side
looks like this now
Rear suspension:
new tender springs, lot of travel and just 16mm when compressed.
new rear spring setup
found a way to lower the car as much as possible and raise the roll center of the car by approx 30mm.
roll center (blue circle in the middle) before.
to raise the roll center the wishbone has to be moved 20mm upwards
wishbone in original position
drilled holes 20mm above the original ones
wishbone mounted in new location
now the wishbone is pointing down, and the roll center is raised. this should minimize body roll.
Testing day
Had the cance to test my modifications at a trackday in france
the car felt much better than before, had to adjust the dampers and the suspensions problems are nearly gone.
cornering with less body roll
the tired marks on the right are mine... cold tires, too much speed... ran out of grey stuff
unfortunately also ran out of brakepadsafter that the day was over
