rb320 drive
was disappointed with drive yesterday firmer at lower speeds than my ast suspension! and a lot less powerful on full acceleration than my car which only has 30bhp difference.
the car due to 18" wheels the car tramlined heavily with heavy steering

Martin,
Odd that, I did find the RB320 a fairly good ride compared to my MY06 T20 with AST's and handled pretty good around the Track
as said certainly not overpowered but a nice Torquey motor.
IMHO probably the best UK newage car produced and with any setup it is about a compromise between comfort and track handling
Tony
IIRC Tramling is normally only the tyres used

was gonna say, i run same wheels / tyres on my STI 07 and dont get tramlining.
I had an 06 STI when the RB320 came out and drove a mates RB320 thru some familar lanes and suspension was not as harsh as mine standard STI setup
I now have the 07 STI with Prodrive springs, I would say that RB320 setup is still less 'hardcore' then mine.

i was very surprised by the ride to be honest and drove the same road later in my car with17's no tramlining and my 2 kids in the back were fine,in the rb320 it felt like the back especially was overdampened!very bizarre

ps do you think my drive was in a dodgey one-it only has 3,000 miles on it still tight?

Someone might have had the Rear anti-roll bar on the firmest setting
may give an impression of over-dampening on straigt bumpy B roadsIMHO
