I have to tweak my exhaust, bleed the brakes yet again, to much sponge, not enough stop. I also need to nut and bolt the suspension just for good measure. I know I tightened everything up, but can you really be to sure
It's been a long weekend, and another long day under the car finally ended in a drive. Although my exhaust hampered my fun, due to its sound level, I did get a few chances to test just what kind of grip could be had with the new suspension.
The results are stunning. The steering, although it has a poor alignment, turns as though the wheels were being turned directly by my hands. The car where before it felt a slight tendency to push, now it bites hard, and will loose traction on the rear before considering pushing wide. I have a slight concern with my rear spring rate being to high in comparison to my front, but only in sharp turns. That being said I do have the front sway removed, so maybe my loaded rate will be high enough up front with the swaybar installed.
Great results, now I need to finish up some loose ends. Video of handling to come as soon as the brakes are bled.

p.s. Yes I know the rear is higher than the front, I am waiting to cut a coil from the rear springs until I confirm the rate is proper. No one wants to take a cut spring in return
If you ever need any dimensions I have most of a fiat spider in my database that I can help with.
