By wednesday I hope to finally have a car that rides well....it used to float at speed and too soft for the track. So the RUF's coming out and the Leda 24 way adjustables are going in.

They are really well built.....much beefier than Bilstiens which my RUF is and also the pss-9. Hope it performs as well if not better. Using Hypercoil springs (which by the way happens to match the body color) sprung at 375 rear and 250 front - which i hope is a good in-between for road and track. Rubberised rear mounts will be replaced by monoballs.

The adjustment **** is better designed than pss-9 being larger and easier to control, located at a better position and have much more positive clicks on the adjustment. I find the pss's clicks to be "vague".

but the real test is how it performs.......will report soon for the benefit of those currently looking at swapping out their suspension

What are you doing with the Ruf?

pzull

Sold it. Why would you want one? It's the comfort version, not terrible good for performance IMHO

Sweet!!!! Just a Week too late for me
ah well there is always next time at Sepang to try it out -

I just need to work on my shifting from the "wrong" side of the car

Funnily enough I was at Leda last week. Great guys and an impression set-up. The dampers are all hand-made to order and really do seem high-quality. Springs they specify are usually Eibach.

Cheers

Rob,
yeah can't wait for next sepang day, should be in a few weeks time. Have you rounded up enough people interested in organising a track-week at sepang driving the Radicals? I'm sure it'll work out to be surprisingly good value. Throw in a couple of good race instructors and I'm sure we could get a whole bunch from singapore, malaysia and thailand to join in....it would be a wild wild east week!

Did you get a chance to view the videos? PS thanks for the PCA stuff really cool!

Phil,
That explains why my shipment got delayed. You must have been taking up too much of their time!!! Apparently they have been overwhelmed with orders. How big is their factory? I got Hypercoils because they seem to be made much better than eibach (processes that they undergo).....and they come in matching midnite blue metallic I ordered from their US dealer RacersEdge....really responsive guy

the video's are great can you send me a mail to my normal email address and i'll shoot you a spliced together video of the track (had some extra time on the plane to India, that and MS Movie maker is pretty cool)
i'll see what i can do?

Any rennlisters interested in a Holiday in Kaula Laumpur and singapore - Driving Sepang with Radical's durring a private trackday or 2?
Humm - i need to organize a tour

pzull

Yeah i'll organise the track and accomodations here

Anyway here's a pic of my ledas. Note how beefy the front struts are. Almost twice the diameter of the ruf's

Nice! Phil - I wonder of Leda will do me a deal...could always run a feature on my 964 now that yours has gone...(bu**ger, just remembered you're getting another!)

Phil Raby

Rob, I'm sure they would!

Phil, was this LEDA in essex?

Just got word from mechanic that monoball mounts received are wrong. It's radial dimension is too small ie. need larger diameter mount.

Anyone have any idea how the early 964 mounts differ from the later 964 mounts or how ROW mounts differ from USA cars or for that matter what mounts I might have received?

Cheers

Phil Raby

Yes. Why, is there another?

Cupcar#12

I think we should try to gauge the intrest in this (track holidays @ Sepang)
Dennis - joint venture?

pzull

Rob, sounds good to me. Won;t get rich but sure will be fun!!

Anyway, my mechanic el extraordinaire did some custom fabrication to modify the monoballs and they have been fitted. Tomorrow it's corner weights and alignment then I'll be set.
