Been unhappy with it since I've changed a few mods, could not get set up as I wanted car felt shit worse than standard, so been stepping back and re doing some things and settings / springy rates etc.

Car finally feels sorted again more importantly I have confidence in her again, bit like the Intrax thread, have been on a learning / testing curve for months, trying different set ups, springs , and toe in / camber etc , to suit what I want from it, and went to far one way to start with, so been trying to find the optimum since then...

Hi,

7.77- without seeing much its just
guess work.

Have you checked all the obvious things like-

Broken Spring , snapped drop links, dampers
are working correctlty, etc, and I would
also check your RTAB as the new Subframe bushes
if they were the harder version, would show
up other 'bushing' issues ?

New standard OEM subframe bushes are very good
so if fitted correctly then your issue is something else.

Hi,

7.77- without seeing much its just
guess work.

Have you checked all the obvious things like-

Broken Spring: no prob
snapped drop links: will be change next week
dampers are working correctlty: will be check tomorrow by specialist
, etc, and I would
also check your RTAB (also changed) as the new Subframe bushes
if they were the harder version, would show
up other 'bushing' issues ?

each bushes have been changed by oem (except RTAB by powerflex)

New standard OEM subframe bushes are very good
so if fitted correctly then your issue is something else.

By the way on another note, have you got some more guys for your visors, as Lee said three would make it worthwhile for printing and producing ??

Let me know as he is running our new ones for October trip, so can do your three with additions at the same time

Daz

Need to know if you do, so I can get Lee to run em :whistle:

Hi,

7.77- just out of interest are the RTAB the standard
Powerflex ones or the ''Black'' Harder shore ones ?

I had the standrad Powerflex [purple] on an M5
front wishbones, and it chewed them up in about a day.

Car was then like driving as if it was on ice.

[7.77]

had the whole powerflex kit for 10 days. front didn't last than 3/4 laps in Spa (3/4 hard braking and...oh surprise.....one bush was ejected !!).

so back to the oem one (don't know the shore), except for the RTAB, fitted with a limiter kit.

do you just recommend to modifiy it: oem RTAB with just a limiter ?

Hi,

7.77- These Guys make a good limiter kit
or their Poly RTAB are in a different league
to the rubbish that Powerflex sell.

There's your problem .... If you are running the Poly bushes these already have a sort of a 'limiter' built into the bushes - running a limiter kit on top of that = absolutely no lateral movement in that arm, so all the forces are transferred to other components within the suspension - i.e. the suspension isn't designed to work the way it should.

Take the limiter out - I am sure that'll solve your problems.
