Who else has spax rsx w/outboard rears on ph1 172???

[Scotty-boi]

lol, it wasn't that close, it was about 10mm clearance with 3mm spacers on.

All this for a bearing....Could have fixed it yesterday if you'd called, got one on the shelf

And there was me thinking you disliked Saturdays dan!

 

[dmallett]

Im sure he did have the trackday set up on his ph1

Correct. And no it didnt rub on any wheels i ran with out spacers.

 

[JonnyGee]

just out of interest what is the spring ratings on the spax rear setup?
and how much are people paying for just the rears?

 

[dmallett]

Its on here somewhere if you search or im sure Dan @ 519 to reply telling you.

Spax wanted to keep it fairly close to their chest originally, so I'm not sure if you will find out.

 

[Scotty-boi]

Yea dan has specified rates on here somewhere. I think he said they were around 400lbs. Could be miles wrong though

[JonnyGee]

it would be just nice to know as difficult to use without knowing exactly?

 

[JonnyGee]

if dan is right then they run pretty soft???
can spax supply other spring rates?
and is there anywhere that sells them at a good price for just the rears?

 

[Scotty-boi]

Think you would have to get in contact with spax direct. To specify spring rates etc!

 

[Mr R.]

That`s what i didn't want, mine still look like new....:rasp:

For personal spec rears. Haven't got a clue mate. As said. Speak to spax! Only they can tell you

Scott, was all going well mate. Seems dodgy bearing has been the culprit. f**king annoying really. Cos would have been better to keep them mint. Just hope it's only a bit of paint gone. And not something worse!

 

[mitch1503]

will only be a spot of paint gone off them at most, just touch it up to keep them coated

Yep. Will have to. Can see bare metal so wil need some protection

remember the springs are not in the same position as stock, so the leverage point is different, meaning the required spring rates are different. They're perfect for a road going car that does track days, exactly what they're designed for.

I have these fitted to my cup packed 182 no issues with rubbing but they sit very close, is everyone that is running these using spacers?

 

[bozothenutter]

changed mine to ET37 wheels...no problems at all......

 

[The Dominator]

what wheels are those? Like I say mine do not rub but seems to be alot of people that have rubbing issues?

 

[bozothenutter]

OZ alleggeritta only 6.3Kg in 16x7

 

[Scotty-boi]

12mm spacers going on tomorrow. Should solve the issue

 

[Dan519]

really? there's one. everyone else is saying never had a problem. wow

 

[Adamm.]

Slightly of topic but if I was to fit f1's on the 182 with spax would I need spacers?

 

[Scotty-boi]

Probably not. I seem to be the only one with a problem

 

[Dan519]

nope, not unless there's excess play in the axle bushes, or something is slightly bent. (I suspect bushes on Scotts car after having it in)

 

[Adamm.]

Okay cheers fellas.

 

[The Dominator]

Reading through 3 people have had rubbing issues all that have been resolved, I was just curious more than anything as I have not had one issue with mine and I have no spacers fitted, Just wondered if people are fitting spacers to either give better clearance or allow for more camber

 

[bartebk]

Mine had rubbing issues but only when I was pulling on drive (n/s)

 

[JonnyGee]

anybody have a price on what the rears cost?

 

[bozothenutter]

just to be clear, never had rubbing......
