Sorry Jim, you don't know how to drive. You should be able to gain 1 sec with solid 250mm front rotors and stock pads. :lol: Serioulsy, you nailed it Jim. My car is slightly lighter than yours and on SOME turns after a couple of laps, you just wonder what happened to the brakes. My current setup is...

at one stage i was motivated and had a few plug in looms to suit the gtv6, but ye. it all depends where you are and what is available to you, in Australia we have just about everything aftermarket. Its said Australia leads the world in this area. a full plug in kit, custom made involves allot of wo...

Not the best choice but it´s what I have laying around in my garage :lol: I also have some 195/50 Yokohama A520 but I think 195 will look too skinny on the big-ass 75 :wink: Errr. are they ROAD tyres??? Hardly track or race......... try some proper ...

Andrew, you're a bit wrong about Ron winning from the IMSA's. I like Ron a lot and admire his driving skills, but as I recollect, since the TRUE Imsa from Bob vd Sluis entered the dutch trofeo he has won because Bobs car let him down or in the rain. Yeah, but winning is winning:) :wink: But when tw...

In the past I 've estimated/calculated the springrate of the torsion bar at the position of the coilover and it was ~30 N/mm when I remember correctly. On the TS I run 104 N/mm (600 lbf/in) coil-over spring and the origional torsion bars. And a huge 32mm hollow anti roll bar. I like the balance the...

The shock length and valving has to be the same whatever the springs are made of. It only cares of the total travel and overall stifnness. Torsion bars, coils or a combination doesn't matter. Micke, I was refering to the shock length and valving because the RS kits are valved for 125kg springs, plu...

Hi Jes Whoa......! Why re-invent the wheel??? Ron Simons uses this exact kit with adjustable dampers/heavier springs, on his Gp.1 3.5 GTV6, AND WINS against the IMSA 75's Shock mounts are not designed for this as Mats correcty pointed out. The piston rod travel in the damper is too short to go coilo...
