Trophy owners/Mark fish setup

.... Following on from this

....and having a good drive home, it would be a shame to remove my B14's as they are a quality kit. I think my issue is that for a good B road thrash they are too low. So, what i would like is some measurements from the arch to the wheel centre or what ever for a standard Trophy setup, and a Markfish one. Then i'll have a play with the hights as i'm sure thats the only issue i have with it being upset over the sharp yumps and bumps.

Dmn1989 has this done, £1200 iirc!

Tell him to get his tape measure out The hight looks bob on to me!

 

[.GAZ.]

My car is going to Birchdown in a few weeks. It'll be going in on the standard stuff and out on MF. So can have a look first hand then if you want. Having the dampers sent away for a refurb.

 

[Gaz_]

Interesting, the MF car i had a go in was pretty stiff to be fair (like my Billsteins), i'm sure mine is just set too low. Needs more travel to make it more compliant imo.

 

[Jamie]

It's pretty stiff as standard - not sure if you realise how stiff.

 

[Gaz_]

Ooo er!
Chop chop, outside with the tape measure!

 

[dmn1989]

was abit less than £1200 but i got a few other things done at the same time.

i will measure it for you

they good thing is they go crazy hard and softer than standard too.

Cheers!

I'd love a T but the Cup will do for now, save save save for that house lol

 

[Jamie]

Not the same but I guess you could buy the dampers and 182 hubs if desperate for the same set up.

Trophies are crap anyway, eh Darren!

 

[Gaz_]

Nah f**k that i'd just buy one lol! The heights will do for now, the Billies aint some cheap and nasty kit, as said think its just a hight issue lol

I've organised a group buy on the ClioTrophy forum, its £540 delivered for the revalved rear Koni's and 4 x springs ...

Gaz-Kev - your problem will most certainly be a lack of travel in the suspension, get it raised and it will be far far better for b-road driving. Low isnt always the way forwards

Aren't the dampers adjustable?
