Consensus on big bar/soft spring? - Lateral-g Forums

**GregWeld** · #1 09-12-2015, 05:32 AM

This thread came up around the BBQ last night - with SpeedTech and Mary Pozzi and a couple others.... Three things were the main topic.

#1 - How quickly the discussion became NON LAT G like. All said the reason we love Lat G is because it remains a welcoming non flaming website.

#2 - How many DIFFERENT WAYS there were - and how many good manufactures there were - to achieve handling that's right for the task(s).

#3 - Biggest part that could be improved, was the nut behind the wheel. LOL

I dont know what is better or worse, but I believe that if you are gonna drive your car much on the street and use it as a driver.

Softer springs and stiff anti roll bars could make it a bit more comfortable ride maybe.

I may not be right though. Even though maybe hard bushings is the worst comfort killer of all.

I remember reading an old magazine article on second gens.

Herb Adams vs Dick Guldstrand I think it was, they had "soft vs stiff" setup. Different opinions. Same goal.

I've got PolyUrethane body bushings, 100% delrin suspension bushings, and a Big Bar Soft Spring setup and my car rides fantastic on the street. It's one of my favorite features of this setup, well that and the way it turns at speed.

Mary is quite possibly one of the nicest people I have met thru this racing adventure. So many want time from her at an event and from what I have seen she doesn't turn any of them away. True ambassador of the sport.

I agree with this statement more than any other involving car racing...
