    Softest damper setting vs hardest: any appreciable difference?

    Firstly, apologies if this is covered in a thread I haven't found - I have searched the damper threads but couldn't locate the answer to this specific question. Basically, has anyone had their Sachs dampers unpinned and compared the car's ride on the softest setting against the hardest? If so...

    Springs and Sachs

    What kind of springs work best with the Sachs apart from the standard ones? Looking to go for stiffer springs but don't want to wreck the dampers in the process. Thanks.

When i fitted the pads into the front caliper i noticed the pads were a mil too small to fit snug in the gap. Sure...

    Damper choice

    My T is on Cup dampers and crappy lowering springs and I'm considering what's the best plan. I don't think the price of new Sachs will ever be reflected in the car's value, so what's the general consensus - fit a decent set of coilovers, or leave it on the Cup dampers but swap the crappy...

    Humming noise..?

    I have a humming noise coming from my car, sounding like a shot wheel bearing - humming more when turning right, indicating a left bearing. I changed both of my fronts and after picking it up from the garage this evening, it's still there, not so loud though. I jacked the car up before it went...

    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...

    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...
