Sure my UK cup rims are ET48.5 same as the evo 2001 rims. :S
The anthracite 'off the shelf' ones in ET43 are around 3kg heavier too - slightly thicker spoke design.
Was thinking more along the lines of machining the bolt seats on the front of the flange to correspond with the revised angle on back rather than using shims. Presumably just elongate the bolt holes to account for the revised seating angle?
Can totally see where you're coming from Si and was...
Stiffness is a spring rate issue though surely? Shim stack adjustment would only alter rate of transfer wouldn't it? You experimented much with the rear platform height/rake on yours Sam or you had it corner weighted and just left it as is?
Sam, If the 350-400lb/in wheel rates as suggested are suited to a clean/consistent surface would it be worth factoring in a little more compliance for surface imperfections/grip levels that you'd presumably be encountering on tarmac stages?
Steve/evogone would presumably be best placed to...
From the way you were talking, It did seem to be very much implied. Appreciate you clarifying.
In all seriousness, weren't you recently flummoxed by a noise in or around the exhaust (area)? Would you actually have a clue what you were doing?
:quiet:
Don't know any more than what's on them Sam. Presumably a unified spec that the Clio 2 use to run in the VLN events.
Assuming I've read it right that they're in kiloponds rate is 80kp/cm = 78.45N/mm = 448ib/in
Ah right, wasn't sure if you'd taken the same route as Andrewclio.
The AST are a good shout for the money. Always got the option to retrofit for compression adjustment at a later date if you're keeping them longer term.
What internal dia front springs are yours Sam?
This was exactly my thinking when I saw your kit. :)
Will try and figure out how much of an issue it is once I've had chance to measure it all up. Be keen to see how you develop it on, i'll be sure to keep an eye on your progress thread.
Makes total sense with what you set out to achieve, seems a well thought out bit of kit.
Be interesting to see how the bump steer is on the lag hub as notice you'd included extender pins for the steering arms in your kit aswell.
Planning on measuring it all up while its apart to try and get a...
