So are the 4 leafters valid for a 2 seater as well as the 4 given the lesser load requirement of the 2 seater?
They do work very well for some people but I was unlucky. I’ve tried both the regular 4 and 2 seater BCC springs back to back in my car. However I only did one 20 mile test drive with the 4’s before removing them.
As far as the ride goes I couldn’t really tell the differences. They were no harder or softer than each other. I understand that they are the same springs but with extra camber applied to the 4 seaters . The extra camber did raise the rear height of my lighter car which was what I was initially looking for. Unfortunately there was another issue so here is my attempt at an explanation…..
There is precious little suspension travel available on these cars so optimisation is key for getting the best performance. By raising the static ride height the bump travel is also increased. However what you gain on bump travel you lose on extension travel. So when driving over undulating surfaces I could feel the very subtle way the axle’s extension was being restricted by the rebound rubbers. It didn’t feel particularly unpleasant or intrusive but it’s just not the optimal set up. So as there was no scope to reduce the rebound rubber’s thickness the spring had to go.
Just my experience…. All cars are different and other springs are available. I would recommend that you talk it over with one of the experts first.
