Exocet suspension discussion.
 

So have my kit coming in sometime in June so I need to start thinking about suspension parts. Currently have a 99 with
RB 1.25" (01+) front bar and Sway Bar Brace Kit that I'm guessing I wont need anymore.
FM rear bar.
800/500lb springs.
Adjustable end links.

Do to the reduction of weight by an estimated 800lb I'm guessing I need to get a softer front bar and softer springs?

Chime in people who are smarter than me.

Whats the weight distribution going to look like, what tires, what use, what shocks, what socks, any aero, what color is your underwear?

:giggle:

weight distribution is unknown till I get it on scale to balance but show not lose it's 50/50 by much.
everything from 225 rival to 225 nt01/maxxis
TT/HPDE/Street if I can pull off getting it registered in Texas
HVT 6216i
No aero
going off the high end of the 1400-1600 lb people are seeing as I have a mp62.
Xmas themed boxers

I helped a friend build his Exocet. This one was a pre-production model that is about 50lbs heavier than the current production models.

This is with two people (175lb driver and 125lb passenger) and a full tank of gas.

1540lbs with just a full tank of gas (subtract ~50lbs for yours)
52.9/47.1 front/rear distribution (with two people)

This one has a turbo.

I talked to Emilio and he recommended his Big Grip Kit with 700/400 with no aero and 800/500 with aero running RS3's. The Big Grip Kit has the big RB front bar and the 14mm Mazdaspeed rear bar.

I'd leave it alone, tune the sway bars, get 10's and 245 RC1's

I'm thinking 700/400 would make more sense until you added aero.

Hey Jeffman,
If you want when I get my kit together you can check out what it would be like on 400/300 springs. Im pretty sure your setup is gonna be better all around. My setup is still on FCM revalves which are tennis balls compared to your shocks, but it might give you a frame of reference.
