That's bollocks. I ran A048R's on a standard suspension setup. They were fantastic.

I *may* have had the cusco front ARB, but still, it was pretty much standard.

Si's car has a lot more miles than yours did though Mark (over 100k?)

Suspension sags a lot over time.

Si's car has Koni dampers though IIRC.

Yeah I'm on Koni's. Spring rate is not stiff enough for the track, any more grip and I would have needed completely different geo to counter the roll.

(4 degrees of camber all round or something silly)

Are the Koni's softer than stock? My suspension had sagged as well, but was fine.

Stick some ARB's on, that'd sort it.

Si2k

Whilst I was sold them as having Eibachs, im convinced they are stock springs.

Sure semis would make it quicker but they will be even quicker will less roll. ARBs is an option, higher spring rates would be better as a pure track solution though, the more work you put on the ARB the less independant the suspension becomes.

My comment was purly that I don't think I could go any faster than I was on Saturday without changing the tyres, but doing this would need more changes to get the most from it as well as ensuring you don't blow the engine with oil surge.

This is all theory anyway, just like a GT3RS is fast in theory

Now that was interesting, coming round Brook to see the GT3RS facing the wrong way

Looking at your video, there are a few places where you could go a bit quicker.

You can go much wider at Kirkby, all the way over to the right, and then turn in more sharply, giving yourself more exit speed. I find this difficult to do, but it is faster.

Have a look at how late Highside apexes Gracelands, you are turning in too soon and hugging the kerb for too long and thus having to wait before applying the throttle. It's a similar story on the Oval Turn 4, too long spent along the inside kerb. In both cases you only want to touch the apex briefly.

All easier said than done of course

Si, watching your footage I reckon you could go a lot faster with some pointers on the finer points of the track. A few of the corners you are going in too early (as I would without tuition) Worth a few seconds a lap.
