Ive just got back from a trip to the nurburgring in my lcr,and it was my first time out there with my own car and i managed to do 5 laps without mishap.Now im back home the next year mods list has started and at the top of the list is suspension,so can anyone recomend a good suspension set up for the ring??.Im impressed with the standard suspension but it was a bit soft and could maybe be a touch lower.I only saw 2 more lcr`s all weekend,so they seem to be a stealthy ring weapon!!,one was a red uk car but i didn`t see the driver to chat to.I did a 9.36 on my last lap in my stage 1 remap`d car!!
Suspension for the nurburgring question
- Thread starter stevo lcr
- Start date
Oh,my budget is as cheap as i can get!,but i forgot to put that i need a compromise on suspension,as its my everyday car,and the splitter already catches on my drive so cant go much lower.I dont think it needs to go much stiffer,but less body roll would be nice..
Summed it up there nicely then
Decent, and uprated ARB's
New, possibly uprated dampers.
i cant see your pic for some reason, but were you driving a grey one? As thats the only other UK LCR i saw. i was there in a red one from friday afternoon, till sunday. Had a small blue and yellow GB sticker on the lower left of the rear bumper and a ring sticker on the lower right. i ran a 9:19 on my second lap, then didnt really time them after that, but i do have a few videos of me and the lads i was with (a Black MK5 Golf TDi 4 motion, with GTI kit, and a black Skoda Fabia VRS) if you heppened to see us together. One is uploading now, and the rest i need to convert etc.

Yeah I'd go for a set of uprated ARBs then, go for adjustable as well if possible so you can set them stiffer for the track.

Yeah i see your picture now, and you're the one i saw. There was another red one there on sunday, but it wasn't a UK one. I was trying to watch for him going onto the Ring so i could go on at the same time, but i never noticed him.
One of my Vids is on Youtube now.

Depends on a few things, driver, size of balls, traffic, car mods, tyres, brakes.
With a fully clear track, good knowledge of the track and the above mods I supposed it's possible.
We'll see next year

once i have my handling mods done i was hoping to hit the ring with a target of getting into the high 8s atleast lol,i think thats a bit ambitious from the times iv seen here!

Not F*cking Likely
But since you moved the goalposts.... probably.
