Ooh, that's a nice graph
@Rik Perry - I was contemplating sending over the Sachs (they aren't on the car at the moment) but have decided to wait until the car is back home. I'll then have a good reason to take the beast out on a road trip and put a few miles on it (assuming you don't mind a visitor to your neck of the woods to drop off the dampers!)

Its a fair drive buddy but you are very welcome..
Rik, perhaps a stupid question, but what's the reason for the difference in the negative force (N) trace vs. the positive force (N) trace between 0-50 on the velocity (mm/sec) scale?
Clearly the FL and FR are wonderfully matched across both scales as the green and red lines overlap.
Is it something to do with compression and rebound of the damper shaft?

Thats the base difference between the Bump damping and the Rebound damping strength .... In my opinion the rebound damping is a bit too strong but that is non adjustable from the factory even with de pinned units ..
Just received the Sachs Trophy Dampers back from Rik Perry this week.
-The diamond like carbon (DLC) looks and is the business - can't really capture it on camera.
-I was concerned about loosing the Sachs decals and potential damage via post - I didn't have to, Rik has retained the decals which are now protected with tape and they had been packed extremely well.
-Additional documentation provided to keep with the history of the car including dyno graph and also detailing what work was done.
Diamond Like Carbon Coated shaft:
Completed Sachs Damper:
Will hopefully be back on the car in the next few weeks.

They are powder coated.. And yes they are pre treated before coating .. I have them done by a company that has done Motorsport work for me in the past ..
