SEiW or SEW...?

[James]

Personally I think it should come down to the spec of the car you are looking at, if you find a cracking live axel car for what you want to pay then buy it and dont worry about it.

Equally if you find a SEIW with good spec go for that what im trying to say is look at the overall car not just what axel it has.

Both of my cars have been Live axel and ive been very happy with them the trick is to get them setup well, but for an independant opinion call Pro Comp they will give you an hounest appasial and there b****y brilliant at setting them up! I dont go anywhere else

I'd take a bet that if you drove an SEW and SEIW over average roads you'd struggle to tell the two apart.

I agree with the comment that the rest of the cars spec / condition should be taken into account, not just SEW/SEIW.

So the secret is in setting up the rear end? Any chance of having the details of Procomp? Thanks.

What you perhaps need to do is two things        

1. Check out the website at www.wscc.co.uk especially the links page      

2. Join the club

I certainly will join when I've bought a car. Which could be this weekend!  

Just trying to gather as much knowledge so I know what I'm in for.

So the traits of an SEiW are different in some ways to an SEW?

If there's a difference can you explain it?

Thanks.

Looks like i'm late joining one of my favourite subjects.

Only real issue with live axle is needing a pee more often that was humanly possible.

On a serious note, I would suggest talking to Northampton motorsport over procomp, 01604 766624. They run several westfield race cars and have had a huge number of our rank and file through their dorrs to have cars set up on their suspension rig.

I've owned more than one example of both over the years and like others have said it is pretty hard to tell them apart. More telling is the set up and personal choice of settings.

...and a decent set of shock absorbers - esp on a live axle
