Well currently is 300F 200R (400Rear spring) so as you suggested 450F and 350R but to achive that i will need a 700 rear spring? All in LB/IN

Just had a thought - if I want to.increase the rear spring rate by 150lb/in I'm going to need a 300lb stiffer spring?

And then with everything tight when you turn it over the tensioner should move as it takes up the tension in the valve train but return to its marks when at TDC again correct?

So how do you know when you have the belt tension right? because after you he turned the engine over with the pulleys loose the tensioner is still on its marks and does not fluctuate when turning it over with everything undone?

I think im going to have to ring leda, my shocks are compression and rebound combined!

ahhh i see - that makes the rear of those cars quite soft then? or maybe im looking at over springing with 550lb/in? rear

if that

And what were the vln events?

What springs are they?

2.5's

Maybe ohlins would solve my problem lol! I did consider upping the front and rear by 150lb so that is what I will do to start - with the roll center kit aswell it should make a nice difference

What are your fronts? i suppose you can run softer springs due to the fancy canister dampers?

300lb/in fronts and 400lb/in rears with standard spring position. mainly tarmac events (i hope!)

Any spring rate contributions lol?

Yes that's right :) I'm on standard rears so I would need a spring twice as stiff to get the same rate?

Apparently its a 2:1 ratio on the rear so your springs are pretty much twice as heavy as mine - is your setup pretty harsh?

In an ideal world i would do but springs are a fortune! and as im getting the shocks serviced i can get them valved to suit What are you running? i have rear springs in the standard position so im not sure how that effects the comparison

Anyone know how Ian got on with rally GB?

Mine are 300lb front 400lb rear you recon it's worth.stiffening up the front?

Toss summed it up

Seriously so mate - £25 each to get in (there were three of us) the stage opened at quarter past 11 and we aimed to get there for about half 11 quarter to 12 (stage didn't start until 20 past 2). we got within 5 miles and stopped dead... we didn't reach the car park until 2 o'clock and then only...

I went to chirk castle today, what a piss poor excuse for an event! way over priced and organization didn't even come into it

This is how I see it too, a claim but not an accident

To be honest I would think you would loose no claims on all policies as you have made a claim

I would think so as it would be a claim on your policy, but it wouldn't be an accident on your record though I shouldn't imagine

Any real benefit to having it done?

Not really

Then call the cops

Anyone got a picture of what it should look like? I think we're getting a good thread of info here!

Question about setting the tensioner guys, How do you know if you have it right? I ashume that when you set it so that the marks line up and then rotate the pulleys you shouldn't get any movement and the marks should stay aligned? When you torque the pulleys onto the cam and turn the...
