Wonder how far those puppies will stick out of the arches.

i've heard that changing ofset spoils the geometry of the suspension...i have olso heard that causes stability problems when breaking ... have you noticed something;

...pics...pics...pics...!!!! :D what do you mean by the term 5cm trave IvanAE86; 5cm in the damper before it goes on the bumpsteers or 5cm before tyres go on the arches; have yoy measured yoyr ride hide at front; i mean the distance from the center of the wheel to the edge of the arch. on mine it is...

So have you done anything with your back? on my 340 iuse kyb dampers the silver ones. Chep and working very well. Oh i have the back lowered about 50 mm.

whoooouuuu great job there! and very nice rims ! are they 13' ? and what is the size of the tyres?

Here in Grecce the 360 was never been imported so it is very difficult to find spares. the tyres are 34 psi front and 30 psi back and the dimension is 185/60- 13. when i had the stiffer front springs a was running them at 30 psi both front and back. about oversteering and understeering the issue is ...

its the bar that goes from one of your suspension arm, to the other one at the other side.. This bar will prevent the car from "rolling" over in corners. Like a boat do, when the boat take corners it "lays" in to the turn, cars "lays" outwards.. I see, swaybar is what i know as antiroll bar. thanks...

My 360 runs about 2 degrres of negative camber standard, road tyre cannot generate enough grip to require more camber than this so if you do start running more you will actually reduce your contact patch on the road and have lees grip overall, along with stuffing your tyres. Try fitting a stiffer s...

You need to get more camber, that gives loads of more grip to front. Getting more is just not so easy thing to do, you need longer lower suspension arms, 1-2cm should be enough. But that is really worth of work. Then you could get Toyo proxes r888 tyres to front and normal tires to back, those Toyo...

i think i need to lower i beat more the front to get i beat lower from the back wich is allready lowered about 50mm. the think is that i want more grip from the front. it looks like it has not much weight on the front

Hi Ronnie. I hear a familiar sound kind of knocking kind of metalic when i'm pushing iyt hard on left turns. The noise is coming from the right but i'm not sure if it is from the front or the back suspension. I think is from the front. It is olso getting stronger when i go to the brakes while corner...

i'm running my 340 on red koni's dampers in conjunction with springs from 360 from which i cut 1,5 coils. My front is standing on 345 mm. The combination works very well and gives a very good compromise between handling and comfort ride at any speed.

There is a guy on here (Huskyracer) who made (or rather had made) a solid propshaft with two universal joints which he reckoned is good for about 250 bhp. It is very difficult to convert to a torque tube system, you'd need a 360 gearbox and probably a 360 engine too, so why not just buy a 360 :) ht...
