TVR Griffith Race car setup - Part 2. Springs, ride heights and Nightmares!

Hi Dave. A couple of things from a amateur at this subject. When corner weighting i think you weigh yourself & put things on the drivers seat to super impose the car with you in it. Then make the adjustments to the corner weighting. I also think those rear springs are way too stiff. I did become a mule many years ago when I ran a Calibra turbo. I lowered it & the springs were way too stiff. The car handled like a dog. Larkspeed in Leeds who sold me them said no-one had tried these before & would I be a mule testing them. I did & we ended up with some way softer springs which made a huge difference. The 1st ones caused the car to bump steer at the rear. Also my Nissan Skyline gtr33 650 bhp came from Japan with Apexi suspension fitted. You could not even get the car to dip on any corner by pushing down on the wings. Yes the car looked amazing but handled like a dog. Sometimes stiffer is not better. Shame you don't have a anti roll bar on the rear as surely this would help imensly. I saw the car rear end weaving on your last video, which makes you see saw on the steering wheel to try keep a straight line. I know it is a trait of the tvr handling. Hope you get it sorted out mate. Good luck for the upcoming event. Steve.

Hi Steve. Thanks for your words. I've got the equivalent of my weight in the drivers seat 👍. I've put some softer springs in (pt3) and got it somewhere near. Still not perfect but the best I could manage in the time available... We've found in the past that rear ARB hinders performance, and the car was faster without it fitted (and more predictable). It's all trial and error 😂 but we'll soon see as we're racing this weekend! Cheers. Dave
