Suspension setups for track applications...

[ThRaXaIR]

hiya! what suspension setups would people recommend on a williams thats used for the track? also what do you guys thinks better.....stiffer shorten springs or coilovers?

also what do you guys think of powerflex bushes? do they really stiffen up 'your front and rear end' like they promise? haha.

cheers for your input guys!

To be honest mate the Willy is good in standard for, some decent rubber would be first port of call IMO

agreed, get the std set-up fresh, you wont cant go far wrong.

ok well its for dedicated track use. i was thinking about a new standard setup as i've already tracked it and it was superb but i feel on a 13yr old car a fresh suspension setup would be a good plan to spruce it up!

so wheres a good place to buy the standard stuff? does renault still sell it? so it shouldnt be lowered or anything?

also what are your thoughts on strutbraces and powerflex bushes?

cheers

Renault part numbers for front Struts

R77 00 838 085 ~~~ £44:16 plus vat
R 77 01 470 089 ~~~ £27:34 plus vat ~~ I am not sure but I think this is the top~mount /bearing kit etc. Check before you order though

on a dedicated track car i would still recommend fresh standard stuff unless your going to spend around 600/1000 quid as you won't be getting value for money other wise..

as for uprated bushes they don't have the adjustment of the standard set up from renault

my advice would be standard kit thoughout with a proper setting up session at a specalist and then and only then upgrade with quailty kit as funds budget and need arises..

oki doki thanks for all your input guys, you've been very informative! i'll refresh the existing setup then. is there a website i can order the stuff from or is it all direct from a renault dealer?

rod those codes you've given me (if their right :P joking!) is that for everything i will need for sprucing it up?

thanks again!
