Re: multileafs to split monos

Anybody know what the spring rate for stock multileafs are? From what I have read, they are in the 125-150 range. The new monos are 205.

Thanks

Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car

The camera snaps into those sticky mounts, and there is a little bit of play in them. So I just ran a bead of superglue around the base and it took all the slack out of it. Yes, It moves a ton, To me it looks like it over extends on the initial hit. Was going to put a little more preload in it. Mine...

Re: Interesting video vantage point of my car

Next plan is to mount it on top of the rear end on one side looking down and across the pinion. I want to get the caltrac bars in the frame.

The play in the mount is where it snaps into into those stick on bases. I have a plan to take it out.

Re: Coil over springs

Hey all, found out the QA1 has increased there selection of springs. They agreed that it sounds like one of my springs is going soft. So I will be replacing my 10 inch 350 springs with a 11 inch 300 springs see if I can get a little more stored energy. :D

Re: Anti Roll bar questions

The first time it happen, I was on old tires, chocked it up to that. The tires that were on it this weekend only had 20 passes on them. It happens right after the peak g-force on the logger.

I guess I will try it and see what happens.

I am looking for more consistancy, At one of the tracks I race at, car for no apparent reason, will drive out 4-5 feet and ...
