Title: Rear suspention questions ??? Post by: Christofe on June 17, 2009, 21:28:49 pm Hi Guys,
After my gearbox breakdown(ring /pinion at Gary's picnic I have to solve a suspention issue. When I launch, the car almost grinds on the floor and then bangs on the other way. My actual setup - original shokcs - all urethane rubber mount - Berg rubber mid-mount - HD 29mm torsion bars - original spring plates - bus rubbers (not on the car at garys picnic) My plans are : - solid mounts allround - harder shoks (red koni's ?) - straps retainer - weld a metal piece under the spingplate to avoid it to travel all the way back after the launch. So all advice WELCOME Cheers Christofe D.A.S Title: Re: Rear suspention questions ??? Post by: Tekken on June 17, 2009, 21:56:57 pm Hi Christofe.
Put on limit straps to avoid a bad positive camber,also get shocks with adjustable rebound-you want to limit the travel back up.Don't know how your engine and rpm's are at launch,but a softer clutch may be a thing to look at.

Any other advice ??? Christofe Title: Re: Rear suspention questions ??? Post by: flatfire on June 18, 2009, 22:24:39 pm I agree on the limit straps. Are you using the bug on the street? I have solid mounts and they will be coming off in the winter.
On the back of the bug I now have the shocks off my racecar (betelgeuse) which launches well, they are called gas adjust. SSP sells them. What size is your rear tyre? Title: Re: Rear suspention questions ??? Post by: Christofe on July 28, 2009, 20:40:26 pm Guys,
