DAX RUSH IRS COSWORTH - TECHNICAL DATA

LAYOUT:
Front engine, rear wheel drive

CHASSIS:
Comprehensively triangulated space-frame chassis with integrated structural rear hoop. Additional stiffness provided by bonded & riveted aluminium panels

BODY:
Self-colour GRP composite with the option of the bonnet and side panels in aluminium.Which

SUSPENSION / AXLES:
Front:
Ford Sierra (not Cosworth or 4 x 4) knuckle and wheel hub/flange assemblies with DAX unequal length, dual wishbones and Spax coil-over dampers. Design provides for neutral scrub, anti-dive geometry with full adjustment for height, damping and camber (Note: - The DAX Rush is unusual in using a shim adjustment system for camber setting which ensures much greater strength, accuracy and speed).

Front (with optional CC&AR system)
DAX fabricated, neutral scrub, front uprights with Ford Sierra (not Cosworth or 4 x 4) wheel hub/flange assemblies and DAX unequal length dual wishbones. Spax coil-over dampers, fully adjustable for height and damping. This option includes the unique (patent applied for) Camber Compensation & Anti-Roll system which optimises the tyre-to-road contact patch, and maximises grip, during cornering, accelerating, braking and all transient states in between.

Rear - IRS:
Ford Sierra/Scorpio Granada (disc brake variants only) differential unit, driveshaft assemblies, CV joints, bearing carrier assemblies and wheel hub/flanges with DAX fabricated rear uprights and unequal length dual wishbones. Spax coil-over dampers, fully adjustable for height and damping

Rear - IRS (with optional CC&AR system)
As standard IRS, above, but including unique (patent applied for) Camber Compensation & Anti-Roll system.
Please note: the rear CC&AR system is currently only available for competition use.

BRAKES:
DAX, Dual Circuit, Balance Bar Braking System - provides a significant improvement in braking performance compared to a conventional tandem master cylinder system by allowing the braking effort to front and rear axles to be adjusted independently, so that the optimum braking balance can be achieved.

Front Brakes:
Ford Sierra discs and calipers. Depending on the Sierra chosen, discs will be 240mm dia. solid, 240mm dia. vented (most common) or 260mm dia. vented

Rear - Discs
Ford Sierra/Scorpio Granada discs and calipers. Depending on the donor vehicle, discs will be 253mm dia. solid, 273mm dia. solid or 273mm dia. vented (de dion fits drums on the rear)
