Default What is you Saph suspension set up

This is mainly to those whose wheels don't rub and exhaust doesn't scrape (within reason)

Tell me everything you have from shocks/springs to TCA's and ARB's along with what wheel/tyre size profile you have.

Will be good to see the different varieties in here

also the same person that does a set up for people wanting to go round bends, look the nuts and save weight.



Its all about options, not everbody are sheep which is why the company accomodates peoples ideas and offers 6 different rear end set ups for cossie's, more if you start taking diff options into account.
