Hello
I'm preparing my Capri Mk2 -77 2.0 Pinto for track days, the plan was also use the car little on the road.
I plan make stronger engine later. I have order GAZ shock, Super Flex bushings, vented disc, Ferodo DS2500 pads, etc. I plan run Yokohama ADVAN NEOVA® AD08R 205/50R15" to start with, on 7"x15" RS 4 spoke replica wheel.
(If you know of use RS wheel in good condition please tell me)
I was lucky and got a ride in Gustav “therealpinto” turbo Capri with 230-250 hp on the race track. I like it very much, it was not for stiff for my taste, and it could be even stiffer. (My Group3 Pantera is much stiffer).
He had 225lb front springs and 200lb at rear (coilovers front and rear with Sierra rear end).
Gustav “therealpinto” turbo Capri weight about 30 kg more at front than my Capri. (Turbo, manifold, intercooler, big brakes)
The problem I have is to choose springs; I know I want lower 40 mm (1,5"). I will use original struts.
The question is should I go for 230lb custom made front springs or is it too stiff, should I go for little softer, if so how soft?
How stiff can I use on the road?
The stiffest I have found not custom made is 190lb, is 190lb to soft on the race track?
Must I have two set springs, one on track one on road…?
Please I need help...
Thanks
Anders from Sweden
