Zeezeebaba Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Righto I'm having these fitted at HDEV next month and I'm after just the right set up for fast road use. I don't track the car at all but I quite fancy lowering it a bit and getting the damper settings right. I'm sure HDEV will advise on the day but I just wanted some advice from the members on here with the same units please. At the moment I'm running 20mm spacers all round but I'm thinking about ditching these once the coils are fitted especially if I'm lowering a little. Any advice would be appreciated Quote
Ekona Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Get HDEV to do a proper corner weighting setup for you too, that'll make a massive difference. In terms of stiffness settings (fnar), I found that 8F/10R from full stiff gave a good balance on a 350 (assuming you've gone for the stock spring settings), but ultimately it's down to the roads you drive on and how harsh a ride you're prepared to put up with. When CG set mine up on the Bummer we found that 10F/15R worked best, however on track I shifted that to 5/10 and then forgot to change it back before I left. I now leave it on 5/10 permanently as I'm happy to sacrifice comfort for turn in. Stock ARBs? 1 Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted June 25, 2017 Author Posted June 25, 2017 Cheers Yes stock ARBs but the condition of them needs checking so if they are shot then I will replace. Quote
Ekona Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Well worth changing those as well, that'll really let you fine tune the handling 1 Quote

Zeezeebaba Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 I'm looking forward to getting them on that's for sure. Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted June 26, 2017 Author Posted June 26, 2017 I have BC BR's, think they're brill Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Do you have them set up for fast road use, if so have you lowered a bit also? I'm on standard rays and will be removing the spacers I have on currently. Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted July 11, 2017 Author Posted July 11, 2017 Fitted at Hdev today, the drive home was far better than the drive there. I've gone slap bang in the middle on the damper settings and a 10mm drop all round. Rear damper setting adjusters cut to size so they just sit proud of the strut brace trim. New poly ARBs front and rear. Totally night and day over tired stock set up, highly recommended 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted July 13, 2017 Posted July 13, 2017 shove them on fully hard with a lady in the passenger seat who has decent jubblies, just try not to crash, as you will be distracted 1 Quote
