Can an ISF ride like a Lexus ??

Only complain of the 8kg front springs is that we have a lot of speed breakers here and the front dips a lot more, so have the stiffness almost on full. Will definitely be better with stiffer springs. 

I also agree with you Rich that corner weighing is like suspension mapping and makes a better handling car.

For a comparison I'm either 18kg or 20kg upfront (need to find the spec sheet). I wanted to eliminate as much roll as I could and with the weight of these cars, I thought even 16kg was too light (the weight on most ISF set ups).

Went to a Car Club driver coaching and training day at the Manfield Chris Amon Circuit, and put in a few hot laps with the ISF 😎  I raced on this circuit many times years ago in a smaller car, and it was a real nostalgia trip. Have to say that the Bilstein B6/stock springs combo could not be faulted for a road car being tracked. Had no end of fun, and the ISF surprised a few hot hatches down the back straight !!! 

The Teins have a hard act to follow, and it will be interesting to see how they compare when I get them installed. Then I'll have no choice but to go to the next "driver training" day... it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it... hell yeah 😁

Cheers...
