As a first go try 300s on the front and 150s on the rear - wont be right (are you a fat b'stard?, how do you drive the car?, how well does your
suspension/dampers work etc etc etc and I'm in NO way a suspension expert btw ) but it will be close enough to get you going in a proper type
stylee.
Cheers

I learned one thing about springs this weekend at Donnington:
stiff springs + Novice racer = Spin on the 4th practice lap.....
Start soft, move up when you have the skill and experience to drive a stiffer setup. I tested at Combe, my local track which I know well and thought
the setup was fine, then I got to Donnington which I have only done 1 track day several years ago and found that the car was a little
twitchy.....Thankfully Darrell Beckwith is skilled enough to avoid a spinning novice at the exit to Redgate.....
Raced a Locost for a couple of years, then bought an Elise.
Now back building a Fisher Fury, can't yet decide on V8 power (which I already have waiting to go in) or some kind of V6 (which I'd have
to buy, when I can sell the Elise, if I sell the Elise).
I'm not the most decisive person in the world.

...and at the esses, and at the Old Hairpin and at Coppice.
In fact he must have thought i had it in for him or something.
4 spins in one day - shameful.
Had a stiff talk with myself though and there were none on sunday. Just a fuelling problem that dropped me 14 places. Aaarrgh!
