Well, no prob with shocks.
Springs are front 180/9, rear 130/9

what you suggest for springs rate Front/Rear ?
Specs are:
- Fisher Fury 2001 lightweight race chassis Live axle
- Fireblade 919 engine
- Tyres: A048 or R888
- Weight: not mesured but very light, small cage, no accessoires, seem to be about 400/450kg
- use: track only

thx

Hi Zekill,

I have a Fury Fireblade. My car is similar to yours and very fast, I have 220 lb springs on the front and the same spax dampers on the front and that feels good without an anti-rollbar. I don't know what I have on the rear but they won't be too different to yours. The springs are cheap enough and easy to change so I would try what you have first before changing.

Hi all,
it's seem to work fine with my new springs setup:

front: 200/7
rear: 130/8

You can see news pics of work in my blog: http://sylvafury.blogspot.fr/
Now i need to cover rear wheels and install the bonnet, it's difficult, the airbox no fit, about 2 inch too high.
I think to cut the bonnet.

On my Fury I have -1.5 degree camber front, -1degree camber rear, 1/2degree toe-in front and 1/4degree toe-in rear. I did try more camber and and front toe-in. It was OK on dry track but too twitchy on the road or damp track for comfort.

Like the strip. I was thinking of something similar on mine.

Start at 18 PSI front and 16PSI rear and see how it feels. 032Rs are pretty old now.

I wouldn't use them on track...they will have gone off.
