(A 25mm reduction in rebound length of the shock will grant an extra 25mm of compression length of the rod so its favourable.) (a minus 30mm drop on some cars require/benefit from a shortened piston rod) Last edited by 4candles; Dec 4th, 2015 at 14:27. |

I went with adjustable rate dampers and stiffer springs to get the lift. There should be a thread on here somewhere showing how I did it. My next mod will be bearing top mounts.

Thats all very digestable food for thought...
4ork, you mention in the post havng those Gaz available and also some Bilsteins that were a reasonable upgrade from stock. Any part numbers? Prices? For front and rear as I have a weeper at each end... ;-( I've been quoted £165 plus the dreaded ;-( for a set of custom made springs 30mm longer than std. How does that sound? Does anyone have any alternatives they know of? |
