I recently changed the damping rates on mine and with the spring rates I have (250/300) it made a huge difference.

If you have similar spring rates then 10 and 8 .... need to be doubled.

20 and 16..your mad and I quite like my eye balls to be in there sockets thankyou!!:S

 

[Andy GDI]

yea but ross drives in MK so its nice and flat there with nothing but round abouts...

he likes it hard anyhow

 

[Donz144]

I got that impression! Scotland is no place for having it hard!!

any1 know how much coilovers increased theyre insurance? im with tesco's.

Well I'm running 20 and 18 at the moment.

Actually used it on some B roads with Mike (theman2k) and his v6 over the weekend. The car felt MUCH better on the bumpy roads with the damping right up. It's all down to what springs you're running. As the springs are fairly hard, the damping has to be set equally hard in order to 'balance' the cars handling.

I ran 10 and 8 for a while but found it quite crashy over bumps as the damping was far too soft for the spring rates I run. I am pretty sure I could wind it right up to max without the handling suffering on b roads, and as soon as you hit the smooth tarmac its's even better.

I'll def give it a go. Im pretty sure im running 225 up front and 300 on the back.

My H&R's and my exhaust put mine up about 140 quid iirc.

 

[rmccardal]

It's well worth trying. Ride height obviously has its part to play too (with damper travel)

I'll def give it a go. Im pretty sure im running 225 up front and 300 on the back.

Well Ed my dream pipeline includes: High Torque Cams, Manifold match, SMT6 and a carbon fibre splitter!!!!!

I highly recommend the manifold porting. i did this on mine and thwe difference is unbeliveable! even my mum noticed it when she drove it.

 

[Donz144]

is that the inlet manifold?
