Rear bush limiting kit + wheel spacers

**glendog74** · 05-10-2008, 04:14 PM

Hi guys,

Anyone got any feedback from fitting/using a Turner Motorsport bush limiting kit or similar, as well as wheel spacers for the fronts?

Having been on track a few times now i'm starting to push the car a little more on its standard setup with Michelin PS2s. In fast corners the back end can get a little 'twitchy' at times. I don't feel the need to replace the whole suspension but wonder if the limiter kit/powerflex route is worthwhile?

Also, i plan to get spacers for the front wheels to cure the slight understeer. Any advice on how big to get and whether i need rears as well? I do plan on upgrading the brakes in future also when current set die so presumably they need to clear the caliper size?

Cheers,

Rob.

RTAB Limiter Kit - essential

Spacers - pointless

You'll notice a difference with the RTAB kit

A friend has just fitted a limiter kit and has said it transforms the car. Simpsons highly recommend the kit.

i have both and noticed immediately RTAB limiter kit improvement as well as it lengthening life of RTAB, like above essential foist mod for all owners

spacers are now fixed to my track rims and cant get them off but improvement much harder to notice. I think i have learnt not to go in too quickly to corners, which i used to do alot, whihc has cured my understeer. Dotn think spacers will 'cure the understeer' but may help just a little bit

spacers are likely to wear front suspension bushes quicker but mine come off with track tyres so most miles are done 'spacerless'

If you saw the state they come out of the factory you'd see why! The amount of play is unreal (about 10mm per side!). I put 7mm limiters in mine.

Thanks for the advice guys.

I have just booked the car into Simpsons next week for a bush check and to get the limiter kit fitted and geometry setup - just in time to try the car at the Ring again that weekend!

Will talk to Julian whilst there about any additional mods as he always has informed advice and i can try their AP brake fitted demo car.

I'm going to book mine into Simpsons for the limiter kit to. When I spoke to them found them really helpful and knowledgeable

I am also really keen to get the limiter kit fitted as my first main mod. Simpsons is a long way from me but it seems theyve done a lot of CSL's so maybe its worth making the journey to them rather than use someone closer??
I was also keen to put spacers on both front and rear - but this was more for aesthetic reasons, to better fill arches out etc. Does anyone know whats the max size spacer you can go front and rear (my car is stock suspension)??
Also - i was thinking of buying a pair of rear csl alloys and putting them on the front. I know you need to put more neg camber on to do this - but has anyone done it/recommend it???

Yep you do need to run a lot of negative camber on the front if fitting the rear wheels to the front, which is welcome on the circuit but will increase tyre wear and the tendency for the car to tramline in day-to-day driving.
