Title: Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: jos on May 11, 2004, 03:30:32 pm Dear Matraciens,
Currently I drive my Matra with Koni Shocks in combination with Eibach springs ( rear ). Besides Spax and Billstein are there other options ? Especially lowering the rear a bit keeps me busy sometimes. Any tips ? Thank you in advance Jos Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: Lennart Sorth on May 12, 2004, 11:34:48 pm What is the reason you have replaced the springs ? - length/diameter ?
and are your Koni's height-adjustable ? Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: jos on May 25, 2004, 06:32:14 pm Dear Lennart,
I replaced rear springs to get stiffer rear ! Koni´s are not height adjustable ! Spax is too expensive and unreliable ( they tend to leak ). With kind regards, Jos Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: jos on June 22, 2004, 01:42:18 pm Politecnic now offers DECARBON shocks. These would make a perfect match if used in the front in combination with rear Koni's.
Just for info. With kind regards, Jos Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: ketko on June 25, 2004, 10:49:55 pm Hi
I've been searching a long time for adjustable coil-over shock-absorbers that has a normal price (EUR500 each is WAY above my budget). My best tip so far would be to look at http://www.raldes.co.uk/ (GAZ) http://www.dampertech.co.uk/ (I'm going to calculate spring-rates and shock-rates when my new body-panels are finished..) Other tip ?? - Ketko :-) Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: jos on June 26, 2004, 08:41:05 am Hi,
I have also been looking for height adjustable shocks for a long time, but I am quite satisfied with the setup I have now. I have contacted lots of companies for helping us out on this issue but non of the " famous " brands could help. Maybe I will go for the DECARBON shocks later ??? I will let you know if anything happens on this side :) Jos Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: Theo on August 10, 2004, 07:22:54 pm Hi Ketko,
I might have something interesting for you! Just mail me. Regards, Theo Title: Re:Improvement of handling by modifying susp. Post by: Protide on October 19, 2004, 12:30:57 am It´s sometimes nice to have a father with contacts.
He was helping Öhlins out recently, maybe they can help me when i´ve bought a murena :) http://www.ohlins.se/ |
