Default Doh that will be to hard on the suspension

Right seing is got a few laps around coombe, i thought i would turn my suspension up to max hardness! PMSL driving down the road it was like i replaced the springs with bricks Bobing down the road like hell, didnt feel safe to high speed!

Though didnt stop me from having play with porker turbo

Is it best to have the back harder than the front? or vis versa? or the same? Nid it stiff but this is just taking the piss

Nuts i like it nice and Soft on the roads Bit to soft really. It seemed to handle a lot better last night but to be honest i wouldnt leave it like that as going high speed hititng slight bumps seemed to unsettle it and didnt seem safe. So will tone it down a bit i think

Some bits of Coombe are quite bumpy too - so turn it down just a tad.

to change the back shock settings dont the shocks have to come off
ie not like the front just twist left or right
had mine set on hard all round as car is very low ..but drove like a gocart over bumps.. TOOTH FILLINGS SHAKER set on soft now seems bit of a better ride on
shit uk pot hole lumps & bumps uk roads ....but still harder than standard shocks... ..

im sure ive seen a set of yellows with a small wheel on the side of the shock bout size of a 10 penny bit
to adjust the ride ..are yellow konis the same ...on the back ???
