Cheers, I took it out tonight for a spin round the back roads around Wakering. Dropped it back off and drove past yours going back to Chelsea Ave the other side of the park. We'll have to meet up :)
Dammit been spotted :o
I live over the other side of the park but the house owner lets me use that part of the drive to keep the car off the main road. Do you own a silver 182 with anth 2118s?
My 1st set of RSX rear coilovers were purchased in Feb 2013 and didn't have helper springs only the 225lbs 11" items. They lasted about 11k and less than a year so Spax sent me a pair of new dampers under their 2 year warranty.
I think i'll go 275lbs and 10" as it's primarily a road car (182 FF...
I have the 11" Spax springs and will order the 275lbs Faulkner springs, do you think i should stay with the same length? I only ask as you've mentioned the 9". How mine sat with the 11" seemed ok ( approx 20mm higher than arch line) but would like the option of lowering the ride height a bit...
Brilliant morning, good to meet more people and some i know already. Cracking location, the breakfast was a decent size, and a nice run out for the Clio. Phase1sr the Clio is just stupidly ultra new, like better than factory, a pleasure to look round it. A nice little run out on the way home too...
I was indeed,i attended quite a few meets and National Days over the years. Had plenty of good times and made a lot of long term friends. Were you on RTOC as well?
Do love an R5 GT Turbo, I had a few back in the day and part ex'd this to get into 172 ownership 6 years ago

I've just had a look on the Faulkner website and they have any combination of spring length and poundage to suit.
These are the 250lbs springs, £31 each

Thank you, really appreciate the reply. So with that in mind having the Spax setup would I have to contact them direct to see whether they offer something different?
I thought I'd post this as I remember them offering a bespoke service

I have the Spax full coilover setup and well aware of the product problems. Maybe I should rephrase the question to try and get a simple lamens terms answer (if possible)
Regardless of damper make and damper stiffness, what poundage spring would be close for spirited drives and the odd...
