MMhhh.... Now I'm confused too...
Geoff, if you come over here... could you say us more?
2,5X stiffer seems to be like a lot!

Yeah but they are racing springs and racers have a very stiff  suspension.
I still think it is x% on top of stiffness of a standaard spring. |

I drove the Geoff's Bijou with 175% uprated springs and it wasn't extremly stiff... Perfect for low road use...

| I have asked it on the 2cv race club forum and one off the racers confirmed it is a percentage on top of the standard stiffness, so 175% uprated is 2,75 times stiffer. |

OK that's possible, cause it's really stiffer actually!
Chassis's ready!

That's for tomorrow!
But for moment the chassis is the highest possible. It will be lowered when there will be all the shit on the car!
Make a channelling on the Ami6! The car is in good condition, so it will be quickly done!

they are 150% stronger than std but we get them to work as well over a shorter distance. 2" shorter than std,
on the racers we run duel rate springs now that also allow the front wheel to keep contact with the track,

Dual Rate? Why not experiment with progressive springs?

Ehh Geoff, could you help me a bit? How should I see dual rated springs? Two springs for each wheel, inner and outer spring with different stifnesses? Same idea as on early 2cv6 valvesprings? Or is it something different?
Cheers, Bart |

No no they put them together. One in each other. You get?

Only problem the bodyshell is 1cm too much on the back! I guess I was drunk or something when I first made the floors! Grr... All the holes for the screw are wrong now! Shitty little things!
