Delays! Bondage.

Pissing down can't get the Jag back today...More lost time!
Beast put to one side.
Made some droop limiters...More to keep the very short springs from flopping about when its jacked up or airbourne...Before the wheels would need 5inches of jacking up to get them off the floor on full droop as the polybushes just flop down to maximum shock length...Now it only needs 2.5inches of jacking to get the wheels off the floor...Just a test pieces...Made from a thick old leather belt.

This isn't what you were talking about, is it? Could of swore you mentioned getting rid of the anti-rollbar.

?

Erm, two seperate ideas.

I wanted to fit some harder springs, maybe 750lbs, then I'd probably throw the anti-roll bar away...Or alteast disconnect 1 end and try the car without the bar and with it, on track, can't see it doing a far lot.

The straps don't really do alot..

You might see it lift the inside front on corner exits if it had excessive roll?

I see. Looking at the first photo- do you use bike mirrors or f3/formula ford style style?

I use "racetech" mirrors, convex ones. Similar to SPA Design ones.

Standard racing mirror from Racetech.
