Both Reiger and Proflex definately have offerings, as do MVS, you'll have to ring them as they really need to be setup for your specific car, hence not much available just over the counter for the higher end setups.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

I doubt very much B8's will cope with a 300lb spring, you'll find it a bit understeery without uprating the torsion bars too.personally I'd not bother with the solid mounts or the braces, but spend about £875 on the dampers and £220 on a pair of rear torsion bars, then go from there, might not need fatter ARB. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

What size tb do you suggest and will they fit standard hubs? Also where can I get firmer springs from? I have Spax RSX coilovers but want firmer springs, I rang Spax but no help. Thinking 300 - 450 lbs??? |

not sure, about 26-27mm I believe which is 380-440 lbft, which is quite fecking epic and need proper £££ dampers to control them.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Springs you can get from most places, that's the whole point of switching to 2.25" coilovers  Demon tweeks, rally design, springcoil, merlin motorsport, gaz, koni, bilstien, eibach, kw, etc, etc.... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

300lbs seems a bit on the soft side for a track car, what exactly are you intending to use the car for mostly?________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.
