And will these parts be available in an upgrade kit altogether or only individually?

I'm not sure but thinking about the previous upgrades to the car they did release the 3.0 suspension upgrade as a kit. So perhaps this update will be as well.

This update is a really big step. I'm .4 secs per lap faster at my local track with the update on. I had to go a step harder on the springs as well I am now running the extra hard and the extra extra hard springs (the 2 hardest grades). It is really fantastic.

Good to hear.
Are you running the springs same all round or XXHard front and XHard rear?

Most of the time same all round but will try a grade softer on the front if I need more steering sometimes but 95% of the time same spring front and rear.

Serpent released the 600985 suspension upgrade as a SET (for now)......anyone has a setup for that.?

dan_vector

Yep. I've been running 3.1 standard for a while now. To be honest most of the setup has remained the same just harder dampening and springs. Now up to 1000 - 1200 cst oil and the 39.5 and 42 lbs springs and shocks in the lowest or 2nd from bottom hole in the tower front and rear depending on the track.

All in all its a fantastic update to the 3.0 GT car!

Excellent.....just ordered the upgrade and will test it in 3 weeks.

Also.......is that the latest upgrade for the GT3.0? Any other options that was tested from Serpent?

That's pretty much it. Oh and the hard arms are worth getting as well as those just sharpen up the handling a bit. With the hard arms in the rear it widens the track a bit. I didn't like the loss of rotation it caused and so filled in the holes where the hub carrier mounts with plastic grub screws and re-drilled the hole in the 'old' position returning the track to the previous width.
There is a new vented steel clutch bell on the way as well I believe.

Hi Dan, I bought the upgrade piece by piece as you stated in some of your replies before, do you know if the insert that goes inside the shock stand off comes with one of the list parts you put or it has another part number?

Thank you

Do you mean 600118?

You use the existing parts from the standard kit.

GT front tire, inside edge wearing problem.................this is a on going issue for me, I think.....it is my driving style, I brake heavily and punch launch heavily while racing. Car is GT3.0 using Paolo or other's latest setup...tires, does not really matter, latest Sweep or old Alpha, all are wearing the inside of the front tires.....from 40s, 45, to 50s....the tires can only survive are the 50s and 55s after 1 hour main. However, running 50s or 55s just not going to be fast.

The reason I asked this is I don't see others have the same issue...especially on the new style tires from Sweep or others....all my tires are drilled holes for ventilation and I know the new SWEEP are pre drilled holes all over. Will that solve the problem that I have..?

This is the only issue that I have on GT...really hate to see 2 run tires (5 minutes run each) and they are trash.....
