Just for Alun.

I know you appreciate a car and it's a suspension.

Here are a few shots on the limit at Curborough in I believe 2015 kindly shot and supplied by threespires.

Leave off
Aaaawwh thanks mate, just for me
Your clearly over driving the set up,,,, need bigger springs, less front bias to match your advanced driving potential, and obviously silver wheels by these uber cool pics.
What's going on with the o /s mirror
Thats a proper endo there and almost has a motorbike sort of squat going on, it's working well by the looks.

That's not Aluns car?

No, it is mine. I know Alun is passionate about suspension settings, ride and general handling.


I have 450/400 Eibach springs on a set of Monos cranked up.

Looks like I could use double that at times on track, in fact wasn't Andy Race running about 1,000lb springs on his monster griff?

Mat Smith runs, I think, 800lb springs on his race car, but I wouldn't go that far, as you also need to suffer our well maintained UK roads. I tried 500 lb springs a while back, good on track, but I found them annoying on the road. I think I still have them - yours if I do and you want them. That's the trouble - our cars are by their very nature a compromise.

I used to run two sets ofsuspension, soft springs on protechs for the road and stiff springs on nitrons for the track
easy enough to swap is all over on a ramp.
The track springs were 800 front 650 rear on the nitrons, 300lb all round on the protechs .. on a V8S though so not directly transferable in terms of wheel rate to chim/griff.

Mat tells me he uses 850lb front and 650lb rear springs on his Gaz Monos for racing.

I tried the two sets of suspension units awhile back.

Given the hassle of changing them, I gave up running two sets!

I used Nitron pro 46mm for the track and Gaz Monos for road use.

The Nitron's were great on the track, (absolute rubbish on the road). Whereas the Gaz are very good on the road and more than acceptable given their spring limitations on the track, (450/400).

Happy to just run the Monos now.

Even though the car moves around a hell of a lot, it always feels very planted and under control when on the limit. The best I have ever driven if I'm honest, (and I may be slightly biased ).

Your steering helps too.
Very sorted car under the skin.
You may be biased especially after driving so well last week and for places like Curborough the set ups obviously working well. Mike might disagree
It would be nice to have a track only focused car as in agressive geo and massive springs etc but I've recently been enjoying the car on a different level with my knobbly tyre's (Rainsport 3) on the roads and so I'll just have to live with squashy shocks for now. Bilsteins for me when I can afford them ;(
