Editing S2 Track Modifications (section)

===5.	Suspension===
So your bouncing over the track at speed and overloading the tyres on the bumpstops in corners with loads of lock and high slip angles for safe predictable understeery fun, time for suspension  ? Well if you eventually want to fit cut slick tyres and actually use their capabilities you really will need stiffer springs and that means new monotube dampers that can handle the spring rates.

Lotus Sport Suspension with adjustable ride height £600, Nitron One Way with adjustable ride height and damping (bump/rebound) £1,100 or Ohlins or ... but be really careful about the £500 twintube damper offers since cheap is cheap. This is a long conversation and involves careful consideration of spring rates, ride height and geometry, but the most common setup for regular track cars is Nitron one way with 400/475 springs on 110/120 ride which will drop a 2 minute lap by 5 to 10 seconds providing a more stable and predictable platform. Going lower than 110 on the front will cause the wheels to catch on the clam under heavy braking and cause early lock-up. Going stiffer on the springs (say 450/550) will allow less damping, but, they will be far less forgiving when you make a mistake. the Do a SELOC search on +spring +rates

Dropping the ride height needs the stering rack riser plates replaced with the 10 notch motorsport version to reduce bump steer.

New suspension will need the Geometry adjusting, another long story but 340R Road is probably a good place to be here whilst still on road tyres see:[[Geo Setups]] for more information.
