Did some back to back testing last night at Bracklesham Barn club with TLR weight, No TLR weight and the Cream RC weight and it was much better with the Cream RC weight. No pendulum, loads more rear end grip even with tyres starting to go off.

Stiffer springs and oil and less camber gain on the rear

He means:

I have received the weight from Cream.
It is jolly good, but it makes the car roll quite a lot when cornering.
Has anyone else experienced this and what can I do to prevent this from occuriing?

Considering how inexplicably low he had his ride height set the other week (while complaining about inside front wheel lift in the corners), and without any follow-up or noted changes since then - and the fact that just a touch of low mounted weight isn't going to make it happen - I'm really more interested in getting the WHOLE story of what else he's done, along with wondering if he's got the best eyesight on the planet that he can see these things from the rostrum.

Rear shock oil weight is too low compared to what is being used in the front.

What is that exactly, because last week you were running something crazy like 15mm rideheight.

Your front shock setup is a little off.
Put 2.5mm internal spacers in shock to calm some of the weight transfer on power
Your front springs are way too soft for carpet and minipins
Go for a green spring and move bottom of shock to middle
camber link should remain kit but remove the 2mm under ball stud as this causes the car to hold on to the corner too long


Now for the rear.
Your oil piston is not as far out as kayce would make out!

Try 27.5wt but with the 54 piston
Keep the white springs
Move the upper mount to outer to help support the car mid corner

Rear camber link works really well with 1e. With 3mm under outer ball
Keep everything else the same as you describe

Oh and go for around 18mm ride height all round


This setup is proven to work really well on carpet
It's very easy to drive with no negative traits
In fact its a really good standard setup for grass and astro aswell.
It only every requires fine tuning to track or driver preferences

Why is it that you're using, or asking about using, indoor carpet/ozite set-ups when you're now saying you're running outdoors on astro on a very bumpy track with 1/8th-sized jumps?
