    182 vs Trophy- can you tell the difference?

    On the std trophy Spring the difference is noticeable but subtle... Once up to speed the Sachs come into their own.. The difference is much more pronounced when you are on a firmer Spring like the Cooksport or Mark Fish as the Damper is not overcome by the spring rate like a std cup unit is..

    Another DIY Sachs Rebuild/Service

    That's good info Phil.. The more choice owner have the better... I like the power flex one as it creates a much better seal than the std Sachs items.. But it's up to the customers
