Track day suspension

[Mr MXT]

I've run Lionel 2, my track only NB for the last 18 months with chinas finest maxpeeding rods coilovers. They've been "ok" and have served a purpose.

After 3-4000 track miles, the front drivers damper has failed. Furthermore the build quality is pretty poor and i've had issues with top mounts coming loose etc.

So, time to replace. I'm bewildered by the choice, whats the best out there at the moment for a track only NB that gets driven pretty hard?

Budget up to ~£900

[Mr MXT]

Thanks both

Alex yeas that was me at Bedford, we've met a couple of times actually but its usually overshadowed by the legend of Dave G.

Does any one have a view of Miester R Clubrace vs HSD Monopro? I dont hear much about the HSD kit.

Meisters it is, now can anyone help me out with a discount code….?

[Mr MXT]

Anyone heard of “ID WORKZ” before I get ripped off? They’ve got 5% off, but I’ve never heard of them.

Bought direct from Meister in the end, ordered yesterday, delivered this morning. Will get them fitted at the weekend and report back after the next trackday

Not at all Pewe, excellent tips, the first time I did the job its best described as "a right b'stard".

Luckily that was only 12 months ago so I'm reasonably hopeful it will go smoothly.

Massive thanks for the MS- CR recommendation. Did Blyton on Saturday - they are absolutely phenomenal. I've never really "got" expensive suspension before, but they are absolute leagues ahead of the, admittedly crap, Maxpaedorods I had before.

Now after a bump the car just settles and grips immediately. I'm a big of a bugger for clattering the huge sausage cones at Blyton which meant the car was completely unsettled all the way through Lancaster (the last left) - not now. 100% worth the money (which incidentally was almost x2 what I paid for the car)

@iguana - Interestingly enough, it seems to have toned down my "exuberant" driving style, which is probably a good thing.

One of the better laps of the day, clearly still some time on the table so constructive feedback always appreciated!

Looks like a lot of fun, I guess you’re on normal road tyres judging by the grip & noise?

Have you considered a more track focussed tyre like MRF ZTR's or Nankangs ??
They will most likely improve your experience.

I have a Westfield with sticky tyres, I actually prefer less grip.

I’ve started MX5 racing now, they use road tyres so grip levels are similar.
