hey people, this is for all you blokes out there with superbugs.

i was just wondering what suspension/handling sort of setup you guys run?. i was going to go the vforce front struts .etc but are they really needed?. or is there a Koni .etc equivelant that can handle really nicely?


Anthony

street, race, short circuit dirt, hill climb, sprint, rally, offroad? or a combo of a few?

yeah you need to decide on an outcome or intended use before you come up with a plan for ride height, rates, alignment specs etc. Let us know what yours is!

You will need: springs, dampers, bushes, bars, torsion bars

well will eventually have a subie motor in it.

will be for the street, but would like to compete in motorsport events.....hillclimbs, track days .etc.

all tarmac stuff.

Anthony

You should ask Alex Holzl, if you're interested in the circuit scene you would've heard of him.
-Staggers.

i do talk to alex however i just would like some opinions of other forum members.


Anthony

I could happily have helped, but due to my sanity choose not too now. Hope you find what u r looking for...

Let it go. Both of you!

yes....can we please get back on topic people.

i really need to know this as it has come time to start setting suspension.handling aspects up in the car.

and the rotary idea is gone because the oppurtunity for a subie adaptor plate came up.

Anthony

Hi

Shoot Alexs dad at V Force a message, they have Alexs brothers 1302 handling real sharp.

Steve

i am in contact with vforce about their cars.

however i was just wondering what other people use on their cars and how it works for them.

Click on "japanese racer" there are some cool photos of his suspension set-up, unfortunately nothing written about which products he uses. I do like how there is a support bar coming from the single superbug mcpherson trailing arm to the bulkhead, giving it wishbone style support.

...now back to the question

ok..i'll get on topic but no answers, only questions
have L bug with lowered coils with cofap inserts on front, std swaybar, 185/55/15 tyres
slightly lowered rear,KYB gas shocks, 195/60/15 tyres
urethane bushes whereever appropriate, otherwise std.
rides nice....but i think it could handle better and still ride nice
i'm thinking go gas on the front inserts to mach the back and a rear stabilizer bar?
what do you think?

Fit swaybars next and get a good wheel alignment

Oh goodness! You guys is a generic term, why pick on the dude when hes trying to ask questions.....:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing


Oh sorry I called him a dude, that might offend someone.

So would any PERSON gender nonspecific, species nonspecific wanna help the guy or just bitch at him.........

Try the superbug sites mate, you might get some constructive help

Jak and VWCool, thanks for the positive advice, I'll order a new front sway bar!

Phil

I went the opposite of Jak, 32mm adjustable white sway bar on the back. along with 30% and 35mm lower front springs, koni's all round. A good wheel alingment Helps alot!! and also get some wiser wheels and some sticky tires. probably work in this order

Wheels and tires
wheel alingment at same time
springs/shocks
sway bar (front / rear)
