How many people have seen a RWD car grip so hard that it lifts a REAR wheel during corner entry?

if you have bigger front sway bar and or heavier front springs that wheel shouldn't lift

None at the moment. Replacement pads will have to be purchased through us.

Inducing understeer and sacrificing front end grip.

its a balance hey! if you had all 4 wheels on the ground u might brake faster too.. you don't like understeer ?

That's the fastest 4AGE AE86 in Victoria at the moment (until I go for my attack on R compound tyres). The balance is pretty spot on.

can you get longer travel shockers so the rear will can drop a little more and touch the ground?

Those 3D scanners are amazing, we have a couple of them at work.. seeing a part scanned and then 3d printed is pretty awesome.

More of this stuff Owen :good:

Cheers G.

The kit we have for the VF is seriously insane :) More will be revealed when the official lap times are published, and I use the word "official" for a reason ;)

I'm also picking up a VE Maloo in 2 weeks for damper tuning.

Another update is that Prodrive will be on board with Shockworks as of next month, selling and installing their coilovers for FPV. More on that to come.

Some more tuning work in Korea of a 3 series BMW and Hyundai Santa Fe. It's the first damper settings for both cars.
