Hi all, |
|
Going to order some GAZ coilovers, can anyone recommend spring |
|
rates and valving for a MK1 Cabriolet, fast road. The final set |
|
up will be braced, top and bottom at the front, braced at the |
|
rear and with uprated anti roll bars. The car will NOT be |
|
stripped, all standard interior. |

|
Guess I prefer a little understeer, tend to brake hard entering |
|
corners. Not sure how well you can setup a Golf to feel the |
|
transfer for trail braking. May want a little higher than normal |
|
spring rate at the front. |
|
Never tracked a Golf or pushed this car that hard as it was |
|
pretty much straight into the build. It may be best to just |
|
speak to GAZ and take their recommendations???However a lot of |
|
you guys have track / race experience so would appreciate any |
|
thoughts or comment. |
|
Update - Gaz have recommended 250/275lb front and 180lb rear |
|
Thanks guys! |

I was going to suggest you ask Gaz, although I'm not sure how |
|
many cabbys they'll have experience of. Was it Dave Lyon you |
|
spoke to? |

It was an email reply from Mike (no surname). I will give them a |
|
call before I order. |
|
Thanks, |
