Yeah, can't say I know much about it, has been like that since we got it. It definitely sits way too low. Like I said I know bugger all about suspension and that's why I'll get a pro to look at it. The way I see it, if you have to ask heaps of Q's on how to do something then it's probably a little out of your depth (it definitely is that way for myself).

Given that there is a lot of conjecture on this topic as to which is the best setup, how to undertake it, and so on I think demo really needs to get into contact with someone personally to suss it out. Whether that is a pro suspension shop or an experienced racer from this site it probably doesn't matter, but there are a lot of variables which need to be discussed which probably makes it heaps easier to deal with in person.

Exactly mate, and im sure this is why you can notice no one really bothered to give a step by step guide on what to do.

I think I've read about 50% of this thread....ewww!

C'mon, Dodgeman is a very active member of this website and has added useful and accurate information in hundreds of posts that I've seen. I've rarely found anything to disagree with him on. So please take off your cranky pants and get civilized!!!

Having said that, our race car uses a reversed upper spring with an extra, thicker half-leaf on top of the pack. It seems to work well, but I want to try something softer.

Like bert says, the aim of the suspension modification game is to make your car handle better. Your car needs to put the right amount of weight on the right wheels at the right time, and the target is moving constantly in any given turn.

Its true a car will handle like a sack of potatos if its suspension is poorly setup. An a couple of occasions I've run out of suspension travel in the front end of the race car. I couldn't believe the instantaneous transition from normal cornering to complete understeer. You honestly have more chance of steering a bullet after you've shot it!

why whorida tried sucking up to phunkhead after basically calling him an idiot i have no idea

phunk says....phonebook
whorida says....ask some1 in ya area
dogerman says .....well dont have the time to read.lol

what a joke

pigdog and by the looks of it a few others are the only decent 1s on here with postive input as they are the exact same as me cause they do everything themself like me and actualy has an idea on things

when you build a car ground up without it leaving your place 1ce and do conversions and mods etc etc maybee then you can comment but when you buy a car already done or pay other people to do your dirty work your in no position to comment

id still like step by step flipping leafs off pigdog etc

i wouldnt be able to find an extra leaf so just the normal flipping procedure

i do plan to reset leafs in the future but want a spare set 1st so i can change over if i get a defect in the future as they are strict in my area and i want it dumped on its ass

Speaking of areas,what area are you in Demo?

Demojoke, I dont beleive anyone sucked up to me.
So when will we get the pleasure of seeing photos of what you are able to do when not pulling your dick?
Please feel free to look at the photos in my album to see what I can do.
I find it fukking funny you still asking for a step by step guide. Why cant you work it out on your own if you so hands on. I wonder

hes probably like me phunk, wants to research stuff before trying it and then stuffing it up completely and having pig dog as my go to man as well

I love pig dogs set up, hoist, tools, remote location.
His know how, his brothers as well. The ammount of stuff they have built and modified, i know theres no shabby jobs there or dangerous stuff, never seen stronger welds except from factory.

come on now demo, you need step by step descriptions on every single little thing, then burr up when you dont get told EXACTLY what you wanna hear. try TAFE?
seems prettty funny to me seeing asthough (you have alleged) have been in the motorsport business for 40 odd years.
must be a good shop if you cant even organise a set of reset springs when can i drop my car in?
your the joke mate.

I'm glad Steve said I wasn't sucking up to him, all we were doing was agreeing with one another.

All I was stating was that it'd probably be best to talk to someone personally, not over the 'net. Pigdog is a clever bloke, but what if his ideas don't suit your application? Will you call him an idiot?

There is a lot to consider in this mod. The type of engine, transmission, overall weight, positioning of components, etc, will dictate the best suspension setup. You also need to consider what your car will be primarily used for, street, drags, circuit. You cannot simply just apply someone elses idea used in their application and expect it to work for yours, that has been the ongoing theme for this thread.

I've never jumped on your case before 'coz I thought you were a decent enough bloke, but you're starting to turn out like your sister. You ask for help but can't take advice that differs from your original idea, same reason people had a problem with her. No one is trying to shoot you down, if you don't agree with what their saying let it slide and just take on board what you feel helps you.

Ok its been well and truely overdue, but i have bitten my tongue for long enough.....

funny thing is you are what...my age give or take a couple of years?

Dumb arse, Luke is right you are turning out to be just like your sister Meg....considering her description of me (without even meeting me) is i am a red headed bush pig..quite immature and laughable actually! you are just an insufferable little twerp who has a temper tantrum when he doesnt get his way...just like your sister if someone doesnt tell them what they want to hear they accuse them of goodness knows how many things that actually never happend and Meg threw hissy fit when i pointed that out ..with proof..that she was quite wrong.

Going by what has been said save your self having a coronary and just get off your skinny little arse and look for people in your area and also in the Yellow and/or white pages its not that damn difficult.

I never replied to most of your PMs ages ago coz i felt you couldnt be F'd looking for things your self.

Dont go off calling someone and idiot or saying someone is sucking up to someone else and do go be difficult and ignorant and arrogant...oh thats right too late for that one.

anyway you said you want a "spare set" to practice on incase you get defected...dont u even realise that Cops do actually read over these and many other car forums and can hack into your system and get your details and get you defected so easily? you dont wanna get defected yet you want to try and do something that so many people
have already told you is dangerous and unpredictable and just downright crazy feel free to go and do it your way kill yourself or someone else or hurt someone by doing something you OBVIOUSLY have no f'ing clue on how to do it and if no one is going to help you on here then odds are that its needed to be done by a professional and if you dont want a professional to do it right and do it right the first time and you wanna be a cheap arse ...DONT F'ING DO IT its that damn simple.
