Deacon

Quick bump for this on Saturday peeps. Anyone looking for suspension options it's a good chance to have a look at and rides in a few.

There is also a breakfast meet and sprint on at Curborough on this day too so there's potential to go and watch some sprinting too if people want to.

Fingers crossed!

I ran them for almost a year and never had this. If all the collars are properly tightened it would suggest a fault to me.

That's a shame as it'd be interesting to see how the billies are.

Be interesting to see the difference in the three tein models with edfc

No, you have to sacrifice your soul too! 😂

I'm very confused on the whole balloon tyres comments - will's tyres are not in any way balloon tyres???

Don't worry they'll go 60+ mm low. Your axles will give out before the flex a's!

On track I ran them one click from full stiff but still not as stiff as I'd have ideally liked.

Pm sent 👍

Will?

They definitely do have soft damping - it was one of the things I found that I couldn't get them quite as stiff as I wanted on track. For stiffer springs I think they'd have to be fully revalved which would be pricey!

Two main advantages of adjustable ones are it allows you to set the arb preload fully and, the main one, it saves the battle to remove the stock ones!

I voted like but only with the supporting mods, wheels, suspension and some sort of body mods above and beyond a simple lip kit

Can you do anything custom on the hoodies @rob275 like I had on the Polo shirts?

Cheers @rob275 looking forwards to it

According to GPS it under-read by 2mph with those tyres on. So if the car said I was doing 55 it was actually 53.

I've never bothered changing brakes on a car before but would like to on the 86. I have the pads I want to use but should I also be changing the discs for new ones and would something like the pagid discs that eurocarparts sell be suitable (i.e. if not an upgrade then no worse than stock?)

My brake pads are about 10% worn after 3 and a quarter years (I said I don't brake much!) Discs are fine. The question related more to what @Mike mentioned about the issues with different pad material on the same discs.

If I do change the discs is there any advantage in replacing them with something else (like an ebc disc) or would a oem replacement set do just as good a job?
