What weight springs do you run at the front and what tyre pressures?
When I took mine on the airfield day, I found the front clam rubbed on hard cornering. Running 225lb at the front but did not increase tyre pressure as I think I should have done.
I got a bit of dive under hard braking and cornering but no rubbing.....probably because my rims are only 5.5j width with 185/55 tyres.....everything is 'tucked in' a bit more.
I reckon I could probably do with 275lb fronts really if I did lots of track.
Looks like you had great fun with your car and btw it looks fab. Any chance of a copy sent to [email]terry@marlincars.co.uk[/email] as I am keen to start putting owners pics up on web site (see thread)
Your car looks great, don't know how this will affect the sale if you are still trying to sell it?
As my car is track orientated I used 350Lb springs on the front and 300Lb springs on the rear. I also run tyre pressures of 16psi HOT so in the first few stints keep dropping the pressures down until 16 HOT is consistently achieved. My tyres are 195/50 x 15 888's all round and this set up works very well on track.
