    Stiff suspension = unstable at speed?

    I set the newly refurbed dampers to (what I thought was) 22 clicks. It was as stiff as anything, handled well but felt extremely unstable on the motorway and there was literally no body roll. I've turned them down a few times and there's a slight bit of body roll now and it feels better...

    Cup vs Sachs vs Coilovers

    If a head-to-head test was conducted to assess Cup, Sachs and say H&R Coilover dampers, I wonder if we are able to say what the results would be on the road and track? I like the idea of the Cup dampers because they are so cheap (circa £100/pair) and must be pretty good. I like the Sachs...

    Sachs Dampners Off Car

    Is there anyway I can check the effectiveness of the dampners once they are off the car? Obviously I know to check for misting on the units, though should they be pretty solid if I try to move them by hand?

    Trophy #490

    Had the Trophy for a few weeks now, but haven't shown it off yet so I thought I may as well start a thread! I had a 106 Rallye that was one of the best condition S2s around, so getting rid of it was quite emotional! I'd grown really attached to its no-nonsense approach to delivering its drive...
