Hi everyone,
I'm thinking front suspension for my tr7 v8 fhc.

I would like to uprate my standard and original front suspension.
At the mo, I envisage
roller top bearings
gaz adjustable scocks
polybush
lowered and uprated springs
Antidive kit

I don't know what poundage I should go with on the springs. This car will be used for sprints and hillclimbs and some road usage too.
My car is running 15" wheels on 205 series tyres.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to whether I am folowing the correct route here or not? Is anyone else tying to run a road car and a sprint car at the same time and what do they have fitted?
Many thanks, Clayps.

What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster?

I've only used mine as a road car so far...............

60 series tyres on 14" wheels work well.

50 series tyres on 15" wheels give a better turn in but I'd prefer the 60 series on a long journey as they're not so jarring.
