ACB10 which compounds please?

[DSL]

Help guys after todays first sprint round at Longcross, I am feeling the need for more grip to try & get a little closer to you fast boys. If i can i shall be getting a set of ACB10 tyres this week & set up changes done to suit, but was wondering which compound to go for, I beleive its the 24 but have also heard mention of 40.

[Irrelevant]

Yup - A24 . . .see here.

 

A40 is mega soft and only used on slicks.

 

Getting there....

Good to meet you. I see you have got the bug. Well impressed with your result.

 

A24 ACB10 are what you need and change the rear ears 0.25 IIRC also front to 0.5 to 0.75 as a started.

 

I would think you will change your springs at the back before long. I have some 150lb if you would like to try or there quite cheap.

rear ears not 0.5 but 0.25 as Rob says

DSL = Darren = Orange R400

 

I thought they where 0.25" ears that you needed/recommended

 

Well impressed with your debut event, sounds and looks like you enjoyed yourself

 

see you at llandow

Thanks guys, kind words indeed!

 

I have now got my hands on a set of ACB10 24 compound & car is off to Caterham midlands tomorrow to have its new ears fitted & other set up adjustments made in preparation for the Llandow event.

 

They look kin massive! the ACB rears are 245/45 r13 & fronts 195/50 r13 compared to the old CR500 s which measured a lot smaller at 175 front & rears at 205. I take it thats correct size wise?
