Pictures of the compression struts fitted, trial fitted the black top sump today and need to take a little more webbing off before it will fit properly. Then I can get the oil pump all mounted 😀

So the compression struts replace the roll bar?

Dont you have to run really hard spring rates to controll roll when you use compression struts on their own? How are you approaching this?

Awesome car mate,

Once suspension is all fitted i'll be getting it corner weighted so will change spring rates accordingly

That's what I'm saying, you're going to end up with hard spring rates for the road or tons of roll, can you not get an after market arb to help you keep softer springs and tame the roll a bit

I can get one custom made, but its going to be a track car

Have done lots of buying parts over the last 6 months and now have some free time to crack on with this. Finally got the black top sump all fitted with the tails welded in.
