Hello 4g61t.com

I was just wondering if any of the Members here that do Rally, would like to share their suspension info with me.

Pictures and links would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I know of 2 or so members that actually rally on the board. i'd like to rally-x, but i don't want to screw my car up like that so i'll end up on road courses or something. anyhow, coilovers would probably help you out a bit as you can raise and lower them depending on terrain. i don't really know what spring rates you'd be using though. i'd prolly reccomend against the rear sway bar for rallying simply because i'd be afraid it could catch a rock or something... strut bars could definitly help strengthen your chassis though. i'd also recommend a wider tire to grab more traction. out of curiousity, what would you be rally-xing?

talk to chris burns, "rallyguy" he is very informative and innovative. and has rally'd a colt now for over 2 years

A Turbo Mirage or Colt HB. (once I find one)

I pick my Colt 1.6 GTI on Friday and looking towards Rallying it, this is my first time on this forum and would also like to know if anyone else is Rallying the Colt in the UK

Thanks lads!!

I've done rally-x in my WRX and I'd recommend putting the money into a good set of rally tires. You will be faster around the track than getting suspension/chassis modifications. Most stock suspensions are ok as long as they aren't about to fall apart. 180 lb springs work well for a light car like the Colt. KYB AGX and other entry level ones don't live long offroad - the dampening just dies. If you want to get a dedicated setup go big with Ohlins or DMS. The thicker the strut the better for durability too.
