What's the view on standard CSL suspension and adjustable top mounts when running Cups?

I have a set of 4 18" rears and I like the thought of replacing the R888s that are fitted with Cups, but not if I am going to trash them...

I just found it incredibly hard to maintain the outside or inside edges on the front when running OeM suspension on track.

That was a few years ago so set up may have played a part but gut feel was that too much body roll was a factor

Agree. I found the stock suspension on sticky rubber on race track more of hindrence than the stock brakes were.

So top mounts aren't worth the £3/400 outlay? Not convinced I do enough TDs to warrant a kit on the CSL if I'm honest. Last year I had very little time - managed Snett and that was it.

Part of the reason I bought Lawsy's brother's old shed was to do more TDs (it's already done Bedford and Combe) and I've found playing with the settings on that to be actually quite handy - that's only a Gaz Gold setup.

Hmm...

I'm pretty sure they're saying that top mounts are very worthwhile... I certainly found them a great mod - without having to go to the expense of changing the whole suspension at the time.

Agree.

Top mounts give you a chance to vary camber to save the tyres and equalise tyre temps and pressure, but they are not maracle makers by solving the soft suspension.

If doing a few trackdays get the top mounts. If doing lots then get the suspension ASAP. I reckon in my first 20 trackdays I could have saved enough from tyre wear to pay for the Intrax.

Mounts arrived from Simpson last week.

Quite looking forward to seeing what the difference is (and being able to run less aggressive settings for the road)...
