Does anyone know the spring rates for the standard Trophy set-up?

Gentlemans spec 200
Spoke to curtis yesterday, getting all the info I can on the Trophy set-up, going for something similar. Hopefully will sor out the issues I'm having, otherwise I'll be buying a Trophy again lol.
What issues. God all you do is moan lol. My setup is better than a trophy. I know this as my gf has a trophy and i drive it on a regular basis.
You cant compare them either as they are not even coilovers!!?!?

Not happy with your AST coilovers then?

I'm picky!! Currently doesn't suit my driving. The front is so much more reluctant to turn in than the Trophy, the ride is worse with no benefit to body control. TBH, the more I drive it, the less happy I am, and you know I've tried plenty of damper settings!! Going to see how the settings/springs go, if not happy I'll either try H&R's or get a Trophy.

Fancy a swap
Somethings not right then cos my car turns in better than a trophy. The ride will not be as good due to the heavier springs. H&R's is goin a bit backwards mate. Burp will do you a swap im sure.
They are great mate. Ohlins yeah but cost may come into it lol
900 quid for ohlins aint gonna happen!!!

The springs are too hard for me, can't remember the rates (400ish). I miss the Trophy, it's better to drive than my old mans AMV8.
Hopefully the springs will sort, otherwise it'll be an expensive lesson (and 1*2 number 6 for me!).

Thats what I'm thinking, few weeks ago I had no real issues other than the ride, but since I did bedford, just doesn't feel right. Was eye opening the other night, B-road, 182 in front, he dropped me so quickly.

Learn to drive lol. I ruined loads of 182's on track!!
I agree tho that the car is very firm on the 450lb fronts and 400lb rears.
The reason i had them was because i found the 280lb front and 250lb rear a bit too soft when on track. If i was goin to use the car on the road all the time and wanted something more comfortable then i would defo go back to the old spring rates. I would even go a tad softer on the rears and drop to a 225lb

I was ruining a well driven Vee a few weeks ago. Somethings def not right, had them at 3 clicks on the rear, went to adjust them yesterday and they were only on 1 click.

Well only you could have adjusted them. They dont adjust on there own. Id get it all checked before you go off on one. Somethings not right to me!!!
Gentlemans spec 200
Got 2 clicks front, one click rear.
Mines 4 front 3 rear. found it better as it adds a bit more damping and rebound. helps a bit more due to springs being so heavy. id try the softer springs mate
Curtis at ps will do just as good job. Be interested in what settings he would use tho
Gentlemans spec 200
Right, Trophy (front springs) are softer than I thought, 200lbs. Seems like it's got a lotus type setup (soft springs with firm dampers).
Yep i could of told you that. its definately got alot of damping. Like i said try the softer springs on your shocks. Everybody is different.
lol! Just winding the boy up!
