Hello,

In my quest for more mechanical grip (focusing on rear grip)

I have started to look at these uprights from Elise parts or similar.

 

I was down in the garage earlier tonight measured, to have about 0 angled lower A arm I would need

to raise my center about 25mm. But since thought about ging a bit lower next year I think around 30mm.

 

For example elise parts have 16mm and 40mm, would 40mm do the job or will

I mess up my cornering even futher with to much raised center and should go with 16mm instead?!

 

Anyone in where who are running with these kind of uprights who could share there experience?

Is it worth investing the money into these or is it better going for ultralight brake discs to find more grip?

 

My highest priority is to find more grip in the read, I feel I can "turn on" the grip in the front but not in the rear.

 

I´m planning for next year.

 

raised center upright

lighter brake discs

harder springs

i ran mine for a year or so without and a year with them

 

whether its a coincidence or not my car this year has been absolutely incredible (which a few will vouch for) but it could just be my confidence in the car has grown which has made me push more..

I had nitrons on my car and I was running at 110 / 120. I found the bump steer was a bit viscous! Swapping out the uprights completely eradicated this problem. No more snatching at the wheel, no more bouncing all over the place. Much better. I'm no suspension expert (far from it) so can't comment on angles etc but it's certainly better.
