tiptree Posted June 29, 2002 Share Posted June 29, 2002 Been playing with my (ex AW) adjustable platforms and arrived at 140 front 148 rear being a decent set up for fast road use with 13" and AO32's. Can anyone tell me if Caterham's quoted figures (145/155) are for car with driver or without please? Quite happy with my current set up, more neutral and less tail happy as I raised the front relative to rear but still interested to know... Thanks. Still "need" a FIA if anyone has one laying unused in their garden shed! Tomorrow's a good day for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Carmichael Posted June 30, 2002 Share Posted June 30, 2002 Considering standard Caterham specs are non adjustable and they fit so many combinations of wheels and tyres I have always presumed that the build manual ride figures are a concoction of wishful thinking and bull****.

tiptree Posted July 1, 2002 Author Share Posted July 1, 2002 Peter I think you may well be right. The figures I had were for an Academy car, but I prefer my set-up with the back ride height closer to the front - less tail-happy and the back seems to dig in really well for booting it out of bends. Brands next weeks for the evening session so might find out more then. Off to get my eyes fixed, for some strange reason I can hardly read the screen this morning! Tomorrow's a good day for it!
