Sachs Damper settings

Big Dave · Nov 16, 2014

Im contemplating doing a track day soon in my T, and just wondering what settings to have the front dampers set to for it.
Its got un-pinned dampers up font with MF springs all round and on the standard rear shocks. Cheers...

click - till minimum and then count 22 clicks upwards. i think maximum from 0 to max must be 32 clicks.

When you say upwards do you mean clockwise?

Big Dave · Nov 17, 2014

Mine seem to go too about 45 clicks from soft, so ive set them to 30, we,ll see how that works....Im guessing they've been unpinned....Ive been using the car at about 20 ish clicks on the road, and it seems fine.

@Big Dave I am Running it at 22 on the road/track it W

@trophy 427: upwards= in + direction

So which was is - and which way is + do you turn clockwise for stiffer

RsMax · Nov 18, 2014

+ and - are shown on the adjuster knob (on my dampers)
+ is clockwise I think.

I dont have that I have blue knobs on top of mine.

Is that normal??

RsMax · Nov 18, 2014

No, a red knob is OEM!
Just like in the link I have posted above. But as long as the dampers
work properly the colour is unimportant!

I think they got changed cause the dampers was de pinned

You have blue knobs on your sachs as thats the older version of them. I spoke to Ben at BG where my sachs are just now and he said that they are the early type of knob and they came as blue. They no longer come like that and the blue knobs are no more. They only come red and even then you can not get new ones as i have asked for them.
