Suspension/Geometry setup, Track tyres & Machineing
Discussion
I'm looking for some new suspension for my track car.
Does anyone know anywhere in the edinburgh region that will be able to corner weigh the car then supply/fit/recommend suitable poundage springs etc.... then set up the car for track? And also fix my ass happy brake bias once and for all?
Does such a place exist up here that will do all that? Lowell - who set up your S2000?
I've looked at LEDA kits - 1k for the set with springs to order
Harry Hockley want 750 just for two front struts with springs. :/
I'd like to get a real idea of what spring rates are needed, although i have been recommended 350lb springs up front.
This one is for the pug really...
I've just ordered 048's from WheelsAround, but what are folks opionions on Toyo R888's? They are £67 for 15" from Camskill. They may be handy on her pug
And finally.....
Any edinburgh region machine shops that will increase the centre bore of a set of alloys to 52mm ( i think they only need increased a few mm to clear)

Cant help with machine shops but i used IF Motorsport based at Knockhill to set up the S2000, the corner weighted it and set the Geo up (wallace had a go as well but the less said about that the better)
they aint cheap but they are really nice guys and they transformed the Honda from a total nightmare into a joy (they deal in avon tyres so will prob be bale to reccoemend a good
compound, guy to speak to is bryce wilson iirc, he's ex Nissan Motorsport when they were in BTCC etc
I use Dunlop D02's ont he honda, will go to full slicks when they die (if i still have it lol) they are great in the dry but lethal in the wet, for an allrounder with wet ability (apart from standing water
) the A048 is well regarded and standard fit on exiges!
When you back btw?

Adam,
If West Lothian is close enough, I can bore your wheels out to 52mm.
