As the title says, I went to the Doctor who is Mr Franklin.(Centre Gravity)

All I can say is, it does what it says on the tin.

The final out come



For those that haven't been "Go"

For those that think they know "You don't"

Happy driving all

Excellent. Glad you've got it all sorted now

 

I had a set up with him a few weeks ago I now have a different car the transformation is amazing!!

 

Lots of castor.....
Did you get corner weighting done?

 

I'm sticking with TGM.

All I can say is, it does what it says on the tin but half the cost.

 

What did you ask for to get that much castor? Everything else is much the same as mine, except my castor is the opposite end of the scale.

 

More castor = more stability. Does seem a lot though, although Chris was saying how the machine can lie

 

My castor is high, because I have a different variant of top arm to most, which gives me more caster than most, the castor on my car can be push even higher if I need be.

The reason for castor is more equals better, because of the reason Ron gives above.

More castor also means heavier steering and less feel.

That being said more castor means more camber when you turn the steering wheel so less wear on the tyres when you're driving in a straight line.

I went for a high castor setting for that reason.

 

Depends on your definition of stability. It means it'll be harder work to get the car to turn, and it'll want to self-centre so much you'll have to fight the car to keep it turning.

So stable steering in a straight line, but I'd rather have the rear being stable under hard cornering than anything else. I've come to really like the light steering place it anywhere feel mine has.

But each to their own. Just wondering what you were trying to acheive.
