Re: 1600 High speed stability

[Richard Clough]

Best mods I can suggest are high quality gas struts at both ends. Bilsteins, works "Safari's"  These have in built negative camber) or KYB gas .  Good suspension rubbers.   Set up the geometry to have 1mm toe in at the front and 1.5 degrees negative camber and 1-3 degrees positive castor. the latter are impossible with out mods.  Rear should have a small amount of toe in (not too much as I want the tail to let go before the front, i.e. oversteer) ----- Original Message ----- From: Ashley Munro To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 28 August 2000 19:23 PM Subject: Re: 1600 High speed stability What are some other mods, which would allow for 200KPH stability, Richard?

So you modify the X member so the rears have toe-in and when the car is at speed they get pulled straight.  I have done this mod to my car, and now the only reason my car gets tall happy is cos my right foot makes it so!! HE HE hE.  If you are not happy with youself doing this mod, Ring Nisco and ask Chris,  It's about $100, And its worth every peny. Bye - NAT   Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
