I see you have gone down the compression strut route does that mean you will need a anti roll bar eg a group A one. As some people say you need one & some say you dont I tend to get understeer in mine?

Good stuff Ron and Dave

With the compression struts will you not now need higher poundage springs?

Hi Ronnie, the car has come on a lot since last year well done mate. Are you planning on doing any testing before the first round.

I'll give Alan a nudge, he has been very busy getting our car ready.

Looking good Ron, are you going to be fitting a fuel filler in a window or something?, looks like it could be awkward filling it where it is?
