trophy dampers

i emailed cornering force and the told me the suspension had been refurbised in march 2013 but its starting to feel bumpy again.

how long should you the suspension last after a refurbished?

Im guessing a good few years.
Mines has been on my car since new and are still solid.

Im sure @TonkaTruck had issues with his at first, This is why i have went direct to BG and spent close on £900 as i wanted them perfect.

Is it age-related or does it depend on how many miles they cover since having been refurbed? Do the conditions the car is driven in have any impact (salty wintry roads, for example)? What about the suspension configuration, might that also affect the longevity? So many variables...

I got mine refurbished by Cornering Force in November 2013, covered 6k miles and they started leaking out of both dampers, at the shaft seals a year later.

Simon took them back, tested them and refurbished them FOC. Fingers crossed this last a little longer this time, or it's time for a full make-over.

As a extra pre-caution, I have ordered some Twingo R1 dust covers for the extra added protection this time.
Check a post from @MarcR showing the R1 dust covers fitted to the Sachs by BG.

As @TonkaTruck says i went for Twingo R1 Scrappers as found on the rally cars.

I fitted some cup dampers for a lad at work, his lasted 18 months after a rebuild!

I went down and reset mines to 20 clicks and for the winter it's actually good. Gonna mess about with it and see what happens. Mabe send them away. Got a feeling they are leaking.
