I've created this for Joe (V8S4ME) he is keen to collect other owners suspension settings & opinions.

Please refer all queries to Joe.

Example input S1 S2 S3 V8S GGPro 425 400 7 clicks ACW 8 clicks ACW Handles like a wet sponge
HvdWeerden S3 GGPro 375 300 13 13 tba good on motorway,harsh on short bumps
gifdy V8S Nitron 325 300 6-10 6-10 ? good road setup but felt too soft for track
gifdy V8S Nitron 450 375 tbd tbd tbd still to test
Le TVR S1 GAZ GP8 375 300 12 from soft 25 from soft 165/170 With S3 trailing arms. NG with S1 T/arms. Could easily go 50lb more each end
Top Gear TVR S2 GGpro 400 375 13 from soft 15 from soft - Rear spot on now, front great on good surfaces but suffers a little with poor surfaces / bump steer / rebound - need to play with damping and check alignment. tracking set at 0 degrees currently
Stew Mc S3C GGpro Spring Rate F400 Spring Rate R350 Rebound Setting F11 Rebound Setting R09 Ride Height mm175F, 190R*** Set up is OK for road use but I have not finished playing with them as yet. A little soft for track use from the limited time I have spent on one
orange_dodo S1.5 Avo Adjustables ??? 275(ish) 8 from hard(ish) 12 from hard (halfway) Not very much! The springs are too soft. the rear is ok but the front needs the shocks quite tight. Although the car handles nicely there is distinct tool oversteer as the car rolls so slowly due to the tight front shocks the car tightens into a turn about half a second after you have turned the wheel.
