I used a load of spare 2nd hand race parts on my road car and have slowly removed them . . . . . any multi purpose car needs some compromises.

UK roads are awful so go as soft as you can and buy good quality dampers.

Koni front inserts.
Quantum or koni rears

I run 300 lb front sporings ( bit stiff) and a lotus 7/8 ARB

std rear leaves . . . . single leaf capri springs decambered are more than hard enough. no need for tramp bars unless you get the geometry spot on.

nylon bushes front of leaf, poly rear

@ the front solid mount ARB/TCA's or use rose joints . . . rose joing drag link

stick with a standard good sterering box and lotus arms for ackerman 2 1/2 turns is horrible on the road.


175/70's all round for the road.

stick with GT/lotus brakes, assuming the car is >800kg . . . . theyre not heavy cars and weight murders them . . . .
