Hi there,
Did a sprint day with my mate russ, who has a lovely avon tiger with a 2.0L zetec R engine on bodies! tis very nice.
But he's struggling with tragic understeer, mid corner, and exit. The initial turn in is good, then as soon as you try and drive through the corner, it ploughs on.
Now it's got Gaz coilovers and we think 300lbs springs at the front, we think perhaps a bit less at the rear.
This spring rate sounds way to high for a 500kg car with a reasonably light car.
We wound the dampers right off, and it made no difference.
Considering the gaz kit for the 205 has 250lbs springs, which i consider way too stiff, from my understeer experiences!!!
Any thoughts from the suspension experts, i'm thinking he needs more like 150lbs at the front...does anyone own a kit car that they autotest or sprint? or anyone else shed any light.
Cheers
J
