Post subject:  Hydro questions
What happens when or if you connect the suspension up;
(A) left to right?
(B) Have each bag as an individual sealed unit, but still able to pressurize each one as per normal?
Just wondering what it would do to the handling.

(a) it will most probably (almost surely) make you roll the car over whilst cornering

(B), it will be quite stiff & very bouncy unless you add some shock absorbers

These are only speculations but,

(A) Thered be more body roll, so wild amounts of understeer.
My thought pattern is when turning a hard left the front left is unloaded on a front/back system, so on a left/right system it would increase this effect.

(B) I think the early conversion cars used this system, and it doesnt seem to effect them, im not sure how it works unless theres a valve leading to a resovoir though.

Anton Kraus has a Deluxe done this way. He does say it is very stiff, it is not a daily driver for him.

You can contact Anton;-

But for what it's worth you can get better and easier to get results from a dry set up with Hi-los for competition use. For the Road, being an old bastard (not as near the 50% discount as the Doc though! :wink: ), I prefer Hydro for road use.

Blumin and his mate down the south coast used to do `B' with their Suzi GTI conversions.
They seemed to handle OK (for road cars) around Wakefield Pk from what I could see, but I've not driven one.
