hard to say from the pictures properly but it appears the front is a tad low and spring rates a bit low too, rear dampers not controlling rear droop under braking very well.

onwards and upwards!

Think the spring rate is 285 lbs they were marked on the springs thought they may be a little low... The car bottoms out in combe through the chicanes.

The car was corner weighted and ride height set at the same time, by blendini motorsport. I feel fine with it Smile

Arb was also useless on the back that day the bolt had come loose disappeared lol.... must have been gone at fcs to.

Seems like you running quite high on the backs no!?

Yeah they were high would have dropped them if I managed to make it in, just wanted to set the hot psi pressure and see what it felt like...

They should be run between 29-33 hot

I run the same spring rate, 200mm long. 
Rear arb disconnected would have made the handling pretty unpredictable

See cullys photos from combe to see what happens when you run too much pressure on the backs into camp!

Yeah I did't want to make excuses why I crashed but the arb plate was just moving up and down not attached Tongue I suspected that didn't help me out when I was trying to correct it.

Not sure of the length of ours, what setup you running?

Got gha's going for gold soon enough though.

no shots, just an observation Big Grin

I'd go for proper dampers if you're bothering to change them, save up a bit more.

Yes. It's what they are designed to run. Same goes for most road-track tyres. Only slicks should be run less.

My rear tyres went up 6psi on Friday and it was warm out (23 degrees). After 5 laps but with a fair bit of brake bias set. 

It's very dangerous running too low pressure, tyre can come off the rim etc. Car feels awful with less than 27 in the tyres and I carry a load more speed with them at 31-32.

I'm using kw v2s but using different springs. You are very likely to get inner rear wheel lift without the arb. Happens fairly suddenly on standard suspension, hence the lack of grip Smile
