i'm gonna get them trimmed then knock them out a bit as it will be cheaper than buying new tyres . will have a look how much the adjustables cost now. does the adjustables change the lowering height ? | |

More damping will reduce the rate of compression, so will reduce the scubbing from small bumps in the road, but it's no correction for having the correct clearance in the first place. | |

once the arches have been trimmed and knocked out it will be fine | |

i thought the shocks stiffened the suspension or is that the dampers? | |

different shocks wont stop rubbing... different springs maybe....depends on the offset of your wheels | |

i bought some spax -35mm without buying the full kit and i'm now paying the price, back rubs on 17's when only going over a litte bump. gonnna get the arches trimmed and knocked out but want new shocks to make sure it dont rub. where can i get some rear shocks from for my sport that dont cost too much, i've seen bilstein rear gas dampers for £28 each but thi seems really cheap and dont know if they are just a standard type of replacement or a lot stiffer? ay help appeciated. |
