[grumpy locost]

The engine is a little heavier than normal, at 146kgs and at the rear I'm using semi trailing arms with an anti-roll bar, if this make any difference at all.

Oh, and the car is going to be used on track only, so handling takes a major precedence over ride quality, as most tracks will be fairly smooth anyway.

my locost which is ten years old and weights 540 kgs has front springs of 225 and rears of 160 but remember the rear springs on a locost work vertical and not at a angle like the roadster
