A10ROX Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Thanks to Mr Russell's photography image taken from Cadwell here does the rear look soft? alot of movement on the front? Does it need stronger springs? Cheers Edited by - a10rox on 14 Sep 2010 21:11:12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billyboy Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You could not tell from that shot - its at an arty angle........BUT are you the stig 😬 Look at the other shots in the gallery from the same corner - all very similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted September 15, 2010 Leadership Team Share Posted September 15, 2010 You're not using full advantage of the track width and should be much closer to the apex 😬 Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 If the square root of the front acceleration equals the inverse log of the differential coefficient then the rear springs are too soft. If the integral fraction of the front anti-roll bar is equal to the acceleration of the rear dampers then the driver is too soft. If Ben Collins is really the Stig then my fathers sister is my Aunt Fanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Not in my opinion David. You may need stiffer damping but remember the spring is only there to push the damper back out once it has absorbed the compression. Roll compression as I see in the picture is to do with the general stiffness of the damper. Competition Sec Management Team Member If in doubt.......Flat out!

Jason Plato Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Shirley that depends how long the corner is as the damper will continue to compress in a longer corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 No. Your car is plenty fast enough ! 😬 That shot doesn't look bad to me given the position on the track and what you are asking the car to do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billyboy Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Just a note - The damper or shock absorber is only there to control the spring - Its misleading to call it a shock absorber to be fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
