Hi all now i know this has been covered many times before however i have a query that as far as i can see no one has asked.
Now im getting the front dampers refurbished middle of May, im currently running standard springs but im looking into the rears.
Im unhappy with how the Trophy likes to lift on the rear, its hard to explain but i find i would like the rear to be harder. So i have been looking into dampers and springs and whats available and i had looked into a anti-roll bar for the rear but atm whiteline don't have any available.
Now as far as im aware koni only does dampers that are 25% stiffer than o/e and i know the Trophy when first produced was suppose to have dampers that were 15% stiffer than o/e so standard dampers are very much similar on top of that i know koni dampers have a tendency to corrode rather quickly has anyone had any experience with running the rear koni dampers?
I have started to look into other options I emailed avo as they do there rear dampers that match the koni ones in spec but do seem to run slightly shorter so should match a lower set of springs such as mark fish springs, i was hoping that they would be able to do me a re-valved version for half the price of the koni's from mark fish but they only do the one type. They did however come up with another option this being a adjustable ride hight and adjustable damper coil-over for the rear with a 1.9" i/d coil spring so similar to the ast's really for £150+vat each, this sounds to me more like what im after as i must say my Trophy does sit rather high on the rear, so im really after a second opinion on this as im wondering if i run a coil-over rear only set up am i going to regret this rather than staying with the spring and damper set up.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be ideal
