LOL, I thought you might! Hey the S2000 is certainly no ordinary car and a very cool car to have. The nice thing about the Z3s is other than body parts there is not much on them thats hard to get. Its made up of all mass production base parts, suspension, brakes, engines, transmissions, diffs...

No problem. As answered above by @tschreyer the Gruppe A cars did use true coilovers, but the modification set that Chris Childs does to replicate the early gen Gruppe A rear subframe retains the separate spring and damper setup and in the future if you ever wanted to go true coilover he adds...

- I think these are the coolest cars in EP currently, I kick myself daily for not buying Chris Drydens, it was a mind blowing fantastic deal when he sold it. I just didnt have the room for it (and I was getting divorced). Im still kicking myself. - Not that I am aware of or that I have ever...

Yeah I believe getting away from the short 120mm tall spring was part of it. We got away from the stock type balloon spring a long time ago, but with the ride height the car was at the 120mm spring had not alot of compression before coil bind. I think this may be part of the reason.

Thanks for that link Anthony, Hyperco had one that was closer than the H&R offerings so I'm trying a set of those first (and they were in the Summit Pro Shop system so with the discount it was much better than the H&Rs). Thanks again.

Thanks Al, Thats what I am gathering from responses I have gotten, that by going to a longer spring, I should just stay with the rate I was using (or close as possible) if that was working for me, just get one that fits the length of the new application.

I'll be very honest I dont know what the initial reason was to recess the spring. It was something that was done on some of the faster EP Z3s (which are the exact same rear suspension) and so when we did the plan for modifications to the trailing arms he told me about it (I had already heard...

I race a BMW E30, I have for over 20 years. Over the last winter I had Chris at Angry Sheep fulfill a long long time wish of recreating a DTM rear subframe and trailing arms. What we didn't do was switch to a true coil over like the original DTM cars had. He did a modification to the rear...

Glad to see the Prod Forum back. Maybe its been back a while but it just let me in today. I'm same as Al, I'm a long time (30 years?) user of 100LL Avgas for all the exact same reasons Al mentioned, although my current engine is only 11.5:1

Hey Gang, I just picked up my GForce T5 from them after a service and we had the sad conversation that Im losing support for my GForce T5. It seems me racing the T5 has outlived its parts supply lifespan at GForce and they are no longer supporting the older Tremec based products they built. They...

Looked like you guys had amazing weather and over 40 cars in Small Bore. How was it???

Hey Guys, in between race weekends are you all taking your spare tires out of your trailer and putting them inside a garage? Barring the obvious freezing temperatures that they tell you not to expose race tire to... I take 2-3 additional sets of tires with me and I wonder if left in my...
