Rear body roll
Just curious what other people think of the handling and in particular whether the rear has a bit too much roll with quick direction changes?
I am running standard pressures on PS2s (will change to PSS soon), but just wondered if others thought the same and what they had done about it? BTW, this is fast A and B road driving and not the track. Thanks |

I took my SG car in for an MOT recently and one of the rear springs had sheared, a common problem apparently. Just a thought??
edit: DOH, just realised it's in the 1M section. Ignore me :-( Last edited by jupe777; 06-09-2016 at 02:02 PM. Reason: being stupid |

It'll be your geometry set up..
Get a decent corner weight and geo set up done with more rear toe and and more camber up front than the oem set up. I also find michelin tyres dont suit the lbft or short wheel base of the 1M- cups are great on the csl as are pss and pilot sports. ive tried all those tyres on my 1M and csl (some times back to back). I find 255 35 19 up front and 275 30 19 at the rear are a better size. I'm currently running federal evo's for track and summer use at 28psi (on road) They are awful in the wet but better than the Michellins in the dry ( cheaper too) and they last longer. I run 255 35 19 and 295 30 19 on winter tyres for when the temps drop. Hope that helps. still find it tail happy tho- as can be seen here https://www.instagram.com/p/BKBYJX8hWpB/ cheers Jamie |

Thanks for your replies.
I will get the geo checked in the next few weeks and see what it is. |

I managed some low 2.50's in Cesil at Spa and at the time couldnt match it in my 1M. I think now i've had the kwv3's fitted and have done another 5 trackdays at Spa- i'd be able to get into the 2.48's. Main difference between the two cars is that the CSL feels like it's working with you to get round the track, where as the 1M is constantly looking to exploit your driving flaws and put you backwards into the afterlife lol cheers Jamie |
