valve springs dont work

Ive tried them they make it work on the spot but not when drivingIve even doubled them up

done the tyre pressures a tow settings yet?

does this work? is it not dangerous adding stuff to a rack, what if it comes lose / breaks - you'd lose steering!

(if it works, can i have some too? )

you don't need em Mike, I'll call you later about a load of stuff incl that.

I'll be making some jose rointed upper bones, tigged obviously in the not too distant future with the caster setup of your choice!!

no its not dangerous

nothing can come loose you put them inbetween the mushroom collar and internal part of rackie under the rubber covers

but Valve springs dont work(only on the spot) unless you have to adjust a few other things aswell

can anyone reccomend a harder spring

Pre-SVA toe out - the tyres squeal but it centres... correct after SVA.

I would be up for some of them! I'm guessing although rose jointed they would still be able to be used with the standard mounts?

Nat, i'll set up the website, get registered as a trader on here, take orders, deal with money, you make the stuff ..... Think i could organise supply or GRP as well. perhaps we could make our own cars.

what should we call your business, Manyana? Can't use NSD - too similar to a well known VX company

(editted to add, i am joking before people try and place orders with me)

many thanks, i will try the local garage as he seens to always be working on sports cars and see if he can set up my suspension properly first.

if still no joy then i will try the springs

I sure someone mentioned that SVA centers have cottoned onto this one and will fail cars for excessive toe out?
