Yellow Sachs + Sportlines - Now Fitted

[Badgerman85]

Whats there to say really, BigDave popped round Saturday morning as a mate of ours was fitting ktr/vibratechnics uprated engine + gearbox mounts and a powerflex dogbone so while they were doing that i cracked on with getting the sachs back on the trophy and fitting the sportlines, turned the sachs up 1 click as well which actually made quite a big difference, loving how it handles and of course some crappy phone pics, hope you guys like!!

They look fresh! I set mine to standard (22 clicks from soft) the other day and it's absolutely spot on with the rear Koni's set to half.

Looking good! How's the ride with the sportlines?

 

[Scotty-boi]

They look really smart! Good stuff

Rides well, bit softer over bumps but firm at speed, tempted to turn the dampers up a couple more clicks!

Good work Mr Badgerman Sir, looking good indeed!

 

[jack_davey]

[Badgerman85]

Cheers Tim!!

Are they softer than standard? I'm away to put my Sachs back on and I'm wondering whether to change the springs too.

Lolz, hows the swirl taxi?

I'd say they're slightly more firm than standard due to the rears being uprated too.

Interested in this changing springs melaky too as I have some cooksports ready to go on. However after this weekend I'm convinced the trophy needs nothing suspension wise. It's perfect. So basically I want it lower to ditch the 4x4 look without losing any controllability or playfulness.

If lowering springs at all compromise that on the T I'm not interests so great to hear your thoughts

 

[Badgerman85]

Alot of people seem to prefer the feel on sportlines, quite a few members over on cliotrophy.co.uk have gone down this route, from what i hear cooksports feel pretty good on it too, although from a few of the pics seems to sit a little low at the back!

Sportlines bring it down a touch and improve the handling.

Cooksports seem to get rid of the nose-down stance and focus more on lowering the car... people say that they handle well but with the perfect setup on the Trophy do you really want to be changing it now?

Or you can try 15 on the front and half a turn on the rear

The lolerbus is rocking. The carbon splitter adds 10 Bhp in race car terms, it is now the Haversplitter.

O and the mounts make me very happy.

This is my fear. It handles spot on as it is tbh.

Maybe I should swap the Cooksports for some Sportlines. Not many reviews kicking about fitted to sachs yet. Or maybe give it a go and see how I get on.

 

[Badgerman85]

Handling on the sportlines so far seems spot on! I will be going up another click tonight so will report back with how I get on!!

And you didn't Nitrons because?????
