It would be nice if you understand everyone is not well off and understand the point of view of the modder. |
Not anymore, and yes I do understand that not everyone may be as well off as the next guy, but I never mean to ridicule anyone. The reason the tone seems that way is that I strongly believe that if you can't get it done right then don't try! My problem is with the cheaper techniques and not the lower budgets!!
It's simple really, you drive your car, you drive your car fast. Now lets send all those millions spent in R&D on your car for a toss, and get some cut springs and stiffened shocks. I personally would never sit in such a car. I also implore others not to go down this route due to budget constraints, it's not worth risking your life over. Quote:

None of the brands that you have suggested make anything for an OHC AFAIK. DMS coilovers, new, cost around 150-200K Indian Rupees.
I'm sorry, but what exactly do you mean by that? At no point were corners cut to get a cheap job done. The stiffening of shocks was undertaken after I had checked out Viper's car which had the same setup and rode very well. |
Coilovers more often than not cost more than a set of springs and shocks. So you have the options you've listed above.
I would still not trust a custom shock no matter how much calculation has been done. Theory does not always work out perfectly in the real world. In R&D trials are held in controlled environments. Here you are the lab rat. I hope the experiment works out OK. Quote:

Yes I meant H&R that was a typo.
