Awesome! Love to hear your feedback once you get back to the track with these on and get them dialed in!

They were awesome. I ran them over the weekend at Willow Springs. No body roll at all (springs gave me so much damn roll). I was running a 295/30/18 upfront with a TON of grip. I was really impressed. Can't wait to hit buttonwillow

295's squared! Nice! Any rubbing on the track?

NorCal f80 · 10-21-2014, 10:07 PM

Nice. I'm assuming it can go a little lower?

I had to run a spacer up front, with 7mm there was no rubbing, with 10mm there was a little on hard turns.

Yes, kept it at a height where its trackable/street drivable.

Black Gold · 10-23-2014, 07:26 PM

How bad is the ride quality?

Performance results sound great, excellent news

Hi,

I notice from one of the pics it looks like the spring specs are printed on the spring

100 - 160 almost certainly means 100 spring rate (570lbs) 160mm spring length.

I presume the tender/helper spring is probably minimal rate and compressed fully under load?

kitesurfer · 10-24-2014, 07:30 AM

Very nice with intergrated camber plates. Are you running 295 square? What are your rim widths and offsets?

Just curious how you determine 100 spring rate = 570lbs

If that iis the case I would assume the rears. Maybee OP could post the specs from the other spring?

So you had more body roll w/ aftermarket springs compared to stock?

makes perfect sense. aftermarket springs suck for performance

this clubsport kit makes a lot more sense because it is a complete system with proper shock and spring tuning in terms of shock body length and valving to match the spring rate

Even tho they are normally stiffer?

I'm sure the Clubsports are much better. But they are probably 5k

absolutely, that is completely irrelevant and often a bad thing unless it matches other core components such as shocks / springs, weight balance, alignment settings etc

see post here for details.

Euro spring rates are in N/mm. Multiply by 5.71 to get lbs/ft http://people.physics.anu.edu.au/~am..._conversio.htm

On the springs is 100 - 160. One will be the spring rate, one the spring free length in mm. I presume 100 is the spring rate and 160mm the length. It could be the other way, 100mm length (although spring looks longer in the pic) and 160 rate (900lb which seems quite high)

Will the V3 go as low as the clubsports?
