Well I did my first race in the Stock hatch series at Cadwell Park, fantastic fun and I did as expected...well not quite last but not far off!!

It seems the car is not going as well as it should and as well as a major engine re-build needs the supension sorting, I have some 300lb front springs but they are about 100mm shorter than standard meaning that the standard shockers will not work because the spring will jump about on rebound.

My question is - does anyone have any contacts for getting shorter standard pattern shockers to fit my springs (they need to be uprated as well) or know of any ready done second hand items? I also need some 23mm torsion bars for the back and some way of getting them fitted to a spare beam I have.

Not much to ask is it
Cheers Nick

PS need to lose 40kg from the car and 25kg off me

Thanks guys, spoken to both of them and they are coming back to me with a solution.

Graham, Matt at West Mids Motorsport was especially helpful and was grateful of the lead.

Now where is that credit card............
