ultimate tarmac suspension for 1303
going to be reworking the suspension on the 03 race ready for a proper attack on the hill climbs next year.
want to move awau from the anti roll bar doing the work of locating the tca. Also means i have quick eseay adjustment of castor and anti roll bar. what i cant decide on is weather to go for a compresion strut or tension strut. think with the heavy braking, hard cornering i would be better with a compresion strut but a tension strut would be eseay to mount. I see the j-sports track car has a tension strut with seperate anti roll bar but thats a track car on nice smooth tarmac. Allready running rose joints on the inner tca mount so the struts will be rose jointed through out. Also want to make up new steering arms that have rose joints insted of ball joints, makes setting the ride hoight and bump steer very eseay then as you can space the outter ends up tih spacers to get the steering arms leval with the floor at ride hieght. on the rear i want to get away from as many bushes as poss with out going to a uniball rear end, imho the rear suspension works very well with the torsion bars giving a nice rising rate but the rubber bushes allow to much flex with wide sticky rubber. also want a adjustable rear anti roll bar which i thik will run over the top of the gearbox. have thought about moving the rear shocks to on top of the trailering arm to give me a bit more ground clearnace over kerbs, have cought them before! so any ideas or have i missed anything ? cheers rob
