CAT SX Springs

[MHeadling]

Hi Chaps, Just a quick question, is it worth getting the full spring set F+R for the Cat or is it just worth getting the odd few that work? I am going to be racing at EPO, Faversham indoors, Bit of grass stuff at the SE regionals.

I have a Phil Booth Cat so i think it has grey and red fitted as standard.

Mark,
much will depend on how much of a habitual fiddler you are (or want to be)
For EPR, many of the CAT drivers appear to have settled on the spring combo that your version came with - with possibly the option to drop a rate to Red fronts and yellow rears.

Can't really comment for the Fav indoor surface but for outdoor, I doubt if you will move around much from the standard combo unless you feel the need for a fiddle

[MHeadling]

Thanks for the help! I do like a fiddle now and again but thats a different story! I will leave it as for now and maybe get some Yellow springs for Faversham? I will have a look on Wed to see whats the norm for the indoor stuff.

hi mark,brett and i (maybe gordon) are using grey fronts and new red rears.but rich is using yellow rears! see you tomorrow matey.

Although I have never been to Faversham's indoor venue (yet) I think red fronts and yellow rears could help in low grip conditions.
During the winter, I went a grade softer on spring outdoors with good results.

These four springs are the only ones I have ever used so far....

[MHeadling]

Cool thanks Matt and Gary, I will get some on order, can't wait to give it a run!

this may sound stupid but are the yellow springs that come with the kit, are they softer or harder than the red and grey most people seem to be running???

[frefon]

yellow are soften than red and red are soften than grey

[deepdale11]

thanks...what's best for short grass track??

[Minster68]

Yeah, Garry's right, I'm using grey front and red rear springs also.

they are actually the same spring rate
but are the old style spring with larger coils
i have no idea what difference this makes
but i'm sure someone will know

[MHeadling]

Matt and the other Schumacher team guys, you know the Red springs you run in your set ups, are these the new blood red springs you use or the brown/red springs ??

[ramdrive]

Have the same question...

Just trying to understand the phil booth setup on my sig...

Personally, I have only been using the old springs, but then i haven't done a massive amount of running recently, and would probably move to the new springs at some point soon.

I think the majority are probably using the new ones now, but obviously not 100% sure.

[Mossy]

Mine are the new ones.
