Well i experimented with winding the coilover springs up to give a bit of pre-load on the keeper springs and that equalled understeer everywhere. Thats the main reason why i want to trial it without using keeper springs. Possibly cause the car sits too high would be more the reason it understees. Anyways, compressed height of keeper spring is about 50mm approx, (can't get accurate measurement) platform is wound right down to the bottom of the sleeve and want height to be pretty close to the rear at about 295-320mm from bottom of guard to sentre of wheel. I'm yet to actually measure exactly what the best height would be. At a rough guess maybe 250-280mm coilover springs and some machining of shocks would be best but. it's all about experimenting. Anyone got any springs i could borrow to try out?
