Hi

Thanks for your input, I will definately keep it in mind
I discussed with Leda which spring rates would be good for racing. I went for the gas units with bump and rebound to give me a lot of adjustment options.

1st point, I'm probably not the best driver and many others could go faster. It's a learning process.

2nd point, I need the car to turn in better in the corners. I never had the car hopping at all in the past, however I could not say what the koni spring rates were.
Usually the car drifted a little sideways because I'm on the brakes really hard or if I'm hard on the gas out of a corner. I mean really hard on the gas. At this point I should say to all, dont back off if it slides a little, it usually comes round if you keep your foot down.

The guys watching me at the start told me the car was way too soft at the start, always sitting down too much. In the wet even with 4x4 the fronts would slip too easily, then of course the rear.

I was going to go for a two sets of springs.

wet,
front 500
rear 375

dry you know already.

Maik, I will try to remember and let you know the outcome in 4 weeks.

kenny.
