love this car, massively impressed when i got to have a good nosey at it at billing, looks like it cocking it leg in the 2nd picture lol
it does look a bit floppy lol in the pictures and could do with stiffer spring but then i know feck all about what works and what doesn't when it comes to suspension(or anything else) lol
An example of spring poundage, the standard coilover springs that are supplied when you buy a set are approx 225lb front and 175lb rear, so to go to 350/250 should be fairly big jump on something that is already firm, esp in a lighter weight car like mine, or not as the pictures prove.
But obviously and i presume i am correct in saying, that the cornering forces i can carry running the 225 inter tyres and general setup means that what should be more than fine in general, is actually nowhere near what i need for my particular build as we have already stepped certain area's up above the norm.
To be honest I can see that thing needing stiffer rears than that. I rekon we'll eventually end up bunging 400's on it in the future
i have the springs in hand, rears literally and fronts are on order. Rears i have 400 and 550 in stock lol
wasnt it 400 that olly was running in the end?Quote:

Hmm interesting rears you have there :p
Thats a last resort, it is in the back of my mind, but the whole arb thing is just a sugar coated pile of pap designed by vauxhall on a bad day. Myself and stu have a few idea's but its an area that can be sorted easily by going other routes we believe and with no major costs.Quote:

Any updates :roll:
