the back end on the H&R's is a bit on the soft side i agree, but its a good all rounder fixed damping setup
my ideal setup would be H&R fronts with AST hard rears
i assume Power Station are revalving them to suit with a spring swap?
i'll dig out my old test folder, from memory we tried some longer springs compressed on, but they were softer springs, which strangely worked very well - if that makes any sense!
yeah you will have to relocate it via a tube, plus they do smell if you vent to atmosphere, i'd just use a proper samco and re route it back into the intake
i think the rears are perfect! they're on par with the cup racer rears
have you ever driven a cup racer (172/182 type)? if you haven't do it! and you'll see what i'm banging on about
soft front, hard rear - perfect (granted they're a bit different due to the slicks)
i just wish they were...
in simple terms the lower the first number = the thinner it is when cold
the higher the second number - the thicker it is when hot
we ran Millers 10W60 and the engine lasted well!
KW??
i've driven 4 cars in anger with AST's on, stripped and non stripped, track versions and non track versions, the front on all of them i've found too hard, IMO the stuff from H&R Bilstein and KW off the shelf as a "whack it on, off you go" are hard to beat, but then i don't know if AST's...
yeah MATT BLACK put a Walbro uprated pump into his when he had the VAG 1.8T engine in the clio, speak to him for details, or have a search, there is a thread "somewhere" on here
