Good man, cheers. Not running the cup hubs & extender pins at the minute but have it all sat in a box to go on for next year. Just waiting on some strut casings to suit the lag hubs and get a n/s shaft knocked up and its good to go. Without rc correction just bodged it with fairly stiff spring...

Both really :p Just did a rough calc on s=rΘ and worked out the differential deflection for both positions versus the stub axle axis. From that got a value for the motion ratios and then wheel rates. Sounds like you took your time with it and got accurate measurements - be interested to...

Is it the VLN springs you're running sam - they're around the 450lb mark aren't they?

Isn't harsh no Sam, currently quite forgiving - looking to experiment with marginally firmer rates next year minus the arb to see how it compares. Just using some approx values I got pretty much 2:1 aswell assuming motion ratio for the inboard location of around 1.4 & the outboard as 0.98 (is...

Running really soft springs?

Lol! Never made that connection previously. The positively glowing review of the Clio 4 that Josh posted a few months back makes a lot of sense now. Wonder if the gearbox in that is made out of brie?

A bit over double your existing rate up front & around 3/4 on the rear with AST dampers. Thinking was to try and limit excessive body roll and the problems that brings. Be interesting to compare stiffer rear rates without the ARb next year. You could presumably measure up and get an...

Down to personal preference but that's less than half of what I'm currently running up front Sam. Have just under what you have on the rear but with a whiteline arb - mainly to account for my lack of talent and to make it a little more forgiving for the time being. :p Would only really...

Awesome pics Adrian. :approve: Any more of the white clio mk2?

I agree. break the mold. :)

Liking the optimism. Let us all know how you get on :)

A bit like when the wheel fell off the 200 EDC at the Rsport Trackday at Oulton this year? No no, it's fine - carry on... :lolup:

On form today josh ;) My vote goes for binning it.

Flol :p

£850 in tax every year before you even turn the key? Thats mental! :eek:

Take them off? Case closed.

Track scene?

Flol!

How do they fare on stiffer spring rates Morgan? Aren't sportlines really soft?

This. Ramps are pointless.

Saw this a few weeks back, seems way too pricey even considering its only UK spec with the ST-DSA box.

Grim. Did the £150 price tag not seem a bit suspect though? One for the scrap pile. :(

Didn't search? Pretty sure a few people lately have said they had to buy replacements.

Thats how they are. Konis aren't pressurised, they're just oil filled. Presumably a cost saving exercise.

All thats different is the stub axle has 5mm machined off the backing plate.

Lol :)

Fair play, if you're just wanting to swap out a damaged union could you not just rig up a copper replacement?

Three rears yep, no idea why the different colours. I've only got the black ones that are apparently the firmest. Don't think the fronts were ever changed - never seen anything to suggest otherwise. Some front springs were red instead of black, but otherwise the same rate afaik.

Goodridge 600 reusable in dash 03 w/stainless fittings if its a road car? Out of curiosity why would you want to swap out just that small section of solid line?

No complaints so far Sam, just waiting on the other strut casings so i can run them with the laguna hubs.
