going by his old class 4 Uno that was using spax coilovers, wasn't really lowered. Some tracks he was at needed the extra movment due to the fields being uneven.

One thing tho you HAVE to go to the Nationals at the end of August. Always remember a space framed rear bike engine Fiesta stick to the tails of the Supercharged V8 mini's. Proper quick car with a CBR900 engine.

i went to invicta last weekend to have a look around had a good day out. I think i'm gonna have to lower it abit as from all the weight i've taken out of it has made it really high and bouncy. was woundering if people have tried just lowering the off side so as the car leans on the corners it will make the car sit flatter??

lower spring's but not harder,control rebound with ajustable shock's,if you are allowed to lock diff get the welder out,change diff ratio,if you are allowed put negative camber on n/s and good tyres.

not allowed to lock the diff, tyres are restricted and camber must stay as standard.

thanks for the tip

cheers,
