Hi Nitorious

I'd think of trying 250 to 300 shock oil and try a set of 25LB springs front and back. Lay the shocks over and run a bit extra droop front and back. This is what I run at my local track which is a bit bumpy. The lola conversion has the bodies downforce applied directly to the hubs so soft springs will work well.

With this kit and 220mm body/tyres go with the one way and rear spool. If 200mm lola body and 26mm/30mm tyres go with front and rear diffs.

Good luck and post your outcome.

I ended up running the rear end bits minus the solid diff and also the front shock mount but kept the stock bumper setup as i had to run my standard sedan body because I havent started to paint my lola yet.

The shocks now are mounted at the top most hole front and back because they lined up with how i had them set in the bottom holes in the old mounts.
Should i be leaning hem over more?

Also didn't get to change springs and shock oils yet and the car was a bit of a bugger with not much grip on the track.

I kept on loosing the rear end... i found i had to keep some power on around the corners to stop it (which isnt a bad thing).
I guess i had less grip at the back because the downforce is no longer compressing the shocks so it was too stiff and didnt wanna roll with the punches and grip.

Will change bits out this week ... may try the stock kyoshov1rr springs in the rear and the 300 shock oil and see what happens.

Perhaps double check the rear floating body post doesent bind the rear suspension, this can cause the rear to slide. I wouldnt worry too much until you get that lola body fitted though.

it really looks like its mounted too far backward.
some bodies i have used with my 733 mounting them as per pre marked holes, i have had to trim the bumper a little. but yours looks too far rearward mounted.

first pic shows me your arch cut out for front tyres, actually sits or touches the front, but a 3-4mm gap on the other side, if the body came forward 3-4 mm then id say you will have more room for your bumper as well

Mines a Protoform P56 as well, and it does press a bit back on the corners of the front bumper ... but nothing major.
I brought a G4 bumper recently which is a bit stiffer (but has different mount holes) and at around $4 its cheap enough to cut them to fit different shells







Yours looks very cool btw!
