FRP Custom Suspension Springs..

Springs now fitted all i need now is my new 18" wheels going on then it will be finished.

get some pics up chap

I need to find the right wheels now i do have some in mind but should have them in the next couple of weeks also took it out around the lake district on Sunday and you can push it round corners at faster speed now and it just grips the road awsome.

Can we not see some pics of the car as it is now?

Also what spring rate did you opt for? Standard but with a shorter coil?

I will take some pictures at the weekend as i am working and dont seem to get much time at the moment cheers.

Come on we want pictures!

lol.. thats hilarious Barry.. I doubt very much you've driven it even half as hard as the boys did round boreham when testing the FRP..

I tried the speedline wheels on the FRP as i was keen to try a lighter wheel on a 205 width to see if the car was quicker and more nimble.... The car did feel very agile and light ... the offset of the wheel was the same but it was 7j rather than 7.5... when me and vas compared the car with and without the standard wheels, it was INSTANTLY obvious the car felt WAYYY better on the standard wheels, the true FRP feel is on the standard wheel i feel...

Even the subtle change in tyre choice can make the car feel very different..so i would say personally that changing the wheel to 18" would Totally spoil the drive of the car...

your choice tho...

Hi Chris good point maybe I should take it round the Nurburg Ring and give you a run for your money LOL well for the other I did give it a good blast driving down to Le Mans in June but their wasnt any rozzers behind me maybe i had the auto pilot switched on LOL. I know a lot of people wouldn't do or try any mods on an FRP but thats their choice and not mine as for the issue of lowering the car ?. Well FRP 250 is back to its origonal speck and i am looking forward to taking it to the Nurburg Ring nex year cheers.

Even a few millimeters at the top of the rubber compression installed, you can have your carpet slipping round. some people will misuse what doesn't need, Wedding Cufflinks no matter what the opinion, I think that mess.
