Mats wrote: If I were to rent out cars to a bunch of fools like us I would make them understeer too. Totally agree :). On the other side thats what I am talking about. At a relative high-speed track as nurburgring-nordschleife a little understeer is okay as it does not appeal to a such an experience...

Thanks, I will give it a go and let you know how it turns out..

Mats: 6082-T6. Specs can be seen at www.astrup.no

If this alu-thing is so dangerous I could easily watercut new once in ST37/52 mild steel .

Grant: I have been visiting Ron at the Nordschleife 1 to 2 times a year the last 3 seasons and always had his "new stuff" added to my car , 3.0 V6. Also the stiffer springs but his setup has never got rid of the understeer. Last year i disgussed this with Ron and he admitted that the V6 st...

Maurizio: I will do that, thanks. Post a picture when its done..

Got ya! Nice idea, i will get som longer top bolts to get all 4 bolts through the leg! Thanks

Barry: As the setup is now the bolts go through the leg and are attatched by nuts on the inside. Your suggestion is to also add a backup plate on the the inside with the nuts to strenghten the leg?

Thanks Micke and Barry. I am just a dumb viking trying to make a nice handeling 116 chassis .
Just throw the alu out the window? Mats?

Maurizio: Why would you not trust aluminium? Your wheels are aluminium, so are many suspension details for newer cars as lower/upper a-arms :) If i am thinking right here i asume the biggest load at the aluminiumbar will be at the outer wheel when cornering, then the forces will push the aluminium a...

X-rad: The Rs- kit for the V6 does not get rid of the understeer, as it does with the 4 syl. Throw away the t-bars and you have a much better point to start....

barry: Thought of making them in mild steel.Work in a maskinshop so I am aware of the possibility of alu cracking, but as these are quite thick massive bars (25MM) I decided to go for alu. Bolts used are M12*90 10.9 quality.

There are not many companies making bolt on coilover conversions for the 116series. The way to go is to order a spesified coilover that fit your "needs". All of the well known suspension companies can deliver spesified damper/springs. I know Leda suspesion made a kit som years ago, or you ...

The front swaybar from RS-racing is very heavy, so the holes are for lightening.

Mounted on the car. Hopefully it gives me better traction on the track

Mats: Maybe not be the right thread to post this on, but yes it fixes the lower mounting points for LCA.

Zamani: Yes with new adjustable upper arms you can design it almost as wide as you want
