new track setup

[Finny]

We are looking into different setups for our track ph1 to get the best out of the car but are yet to decide on a package which will suit our needs...

We have been told maybe gaz golds, whiteline arb, camber to -2 on rear and solid top mounts!
Wondering what other people have used and find the best?

Budget isn't a huge issue as I know you've got to spend a bit to get results.

Happy with my Gazs (All round coilovers, track/road use weighted springs) and solid top mounts made front feel much crisper, but many say a fresh set of wishbones (bushes), arms etc make a massive difference also.
Rear camber is good as standard (about 1.4deg IIRC), so no real change needed.
I dont have an ARB, but believe they can be good - on the right track. A mate was finding his car a little loose at Thruxton, I suggested a softer setting on his Whiteline but it was on softest, so we removed it and it felt much more stable. So very much something to be played with based on track and conditions.

it's not like this hasn't been discussed before....
all the usual suspects with AST at the top

 

[Finny]

Where you get the gaz? Deemon tweeks do them for around 1000!
The back end is just twitchy as it's still on vmaxx coilovers

It may have been discussed before but that comment is also on every thread on this forum...

I got them thru a chap on here who knows them personally i think (think has left this forum now tho). I think you can get them on ebay for £550 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-c...635409?hash=item2ee8b47211:g:uuYAAOxyc2pTayJ3

 

[Finny]

Pardon my ignorance on this but what is the difference between these and gaz gold? As it's like half the price

 

[loggyboy]

Well mine are labled up as gaz gold so I assume its normal Demon Tweeks markup!

 

[Finny]

They're not adjustable I think that's the difference mate the Goldstein have a dial on them

 

[Finny]

Gold* stupid phone

 

[loggyboy]

No the GHA are adjustable i believe. I think its the body width that are different. Have a nose on the gaz site.

If budget isn't a issue.... AST Coilovers is what I would get.

Just so you know, i can get brand new GAZ Golds £750 and GHAs at £500. Delivered to your door with a choice of spring rates.

Considering there's a £50 difference in price, and more importantly that ebay seller is under the name of "Monster suspension"

I don't think so [emoji4]
