Just got my S2 back on the road after 4 years sitting in a garage.

I fitted ford adjustable suspension to it (2nd Hand) and have set them to full stiff but it does seem to skip at the back a bit what sort of settings should I try, cheers for any help!

 

Set at full stiff - it will skip

Try 1/2 way until you like the ride it gives

 

have you polybushed her?

 

That shouldn't make any odds, didn't with mine

 

Yes its poly bushed, seems to skip about a little bit at the back maybe i'll try easing the back ones off a bit?

The 17"s I've fitted seem to catch on full bump as well, any suggestions?

 

I generally run mine with half a turn on the front, and a full turn on the rear on my Koni's. I have now gone up half a turn on each now cos of their age.

Just so you know, the idea of adjustable suspension wasn't so you can play with the stiffness, it was so you could make them harder as they got old and softer, extending their life

 

really ??

didnt know that

 

My Ford ones were 2nd hand that I took of a dead car that probably had them on for a while cos I doubt you could have bought them new from Ford for a long time.

So I'll play about with them to get it somewhere about right.

By the way are they meant to be stiffer up front than at the back or the other way round?

 

also worth checking your tie rods at the back are straight and the wheels are straight, coz the will make the car skip

 

Read that on the koni website some time back, and evertone I have told have been like "really?"

 

got that prob with mine need back wheels setting up straight as its got a adj tie rods fitted and i cant set them up so gotta take some where to get done...

 

yeah rob said your car felt dodgy at 80mph

u not coming to santa pod on oct 15?
