Dumbo 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2020 Hi everybody, I'm a happy Orange Limited (2017) Edition's Owner from Italy. I've been reading here since I bought it (february 2019) so I decided to register. There's a fair amount of expertise here chassis-wise instead of what I see in my country's forums so I'm here to steal your knowledge (on the other hand we seem to have quite a number of skilled ECU tuners). So again, hello everybody! PS: Anyone has the xls made by @DanJ with spring rate comparisions by chance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted September 22, 2020 Welcome aboard. In terms of spring rates, I would say it depends on what you are looking to use the car for. Whether it's road or track or a combination of both. Everything is a compromise of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I have to say that in road or track I find the stock setup very well balanced, I'd like a little bit less understeer at the limit, expecialy when I'm with the R888R. I couldn't find the OEM spring rate value for the Orange Limited (should be the same of the 2016 model).. I think that would be a good starting point to figure out the right direction (maybe I should create a post or write in the big thread) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that would be a good starting point to figure out the right direction (maybe I should create a post or write in the big thread) I know the spring rate softened on the later cars with the ARB's being bigger. If it's any help the early cars were around 2/3kg so pretty soft really. With coilovers those rates are effectively doubled, though most run 6/6kg, though I run 5/6kg as I'm less of a fan of understeer. Adding negative camber does help to combat the understeer too.
