That's low enough to collect cats eyes  Puglovers got a bit of spring assistance in his dampers though, although when you get that low and stiff there's only so much they'll do ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

no point asking those guys what their damper distance is as theyre on far stiffer torsion bars, double the spring rate and more, half the sag.having the back too low can cause issues especially on standard bars, dull turn in, unstable at the back and similar things. I raised BrendanM's Nile from 60mm to 25mm last week as well as rebuilding the beam (and putting the rear load compensator on properly having not been done when it visited a well known specialist!) Hybrid arb and B4 dampers, eibach fronts, eagle F1'a and it drove very nicely, high speed undulations and bumps didnt unsettle it at all. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Not touching the bumpstops when cornering is it?Stick a dab of thick paint on the end of 'em and see if they mark the arms... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.
