Hey Ross

If your suspension contact is happy with how your project works out I'm sure there'd be plenty of call for his services on other cars.

I for one will be very keen to get this sort of experience to sort out and improve my suspension and handling once my car is back on the road.

Handling and braking will be my first priorities to get a well sorted and driveable car.

Cheers

Steve

Hey Steve

When I was talking to him last week he was saying he was looking at buying his own shocker dyno as he is losing his contacts that had one that he had access to.
He has some ideas that he wants to play with but is finding it hard to justify the $11000 for it.
If there is enough interest it could make it make it viable for him.
He seems very switched on and was explaining to me how you can change upper control bushes from hard to soft or visa versa to introduce oversteer or understeer.
Something I never thought about but looking forward to experimenting and learning more about.

Well, the rear is better with the spacers in.
Had the technician do the weights and calculate the spring weights.
Seems Tim you are close.
I tried some standard Torana front springs that were cut cut down and it sat to low.
Looks great but is to low. I can see why you wanted yours lower Towmaster.
The tyre rubs on the guards though so back to the hard springs until I get some custom ones made.
