My old one -

Used koni dampers with chassis dynamics -30mm springs.
Looked pretty good to me





You dont want to go too low or the rear wheels will have too much negative camber and eat the inner tread off the tyres.

garyrs

I didnt buy them sorry. But i did find a receipt for them in the history when i bought the car. They were just from a local motor factor/accessory/wheel place.

get some coil overs then you can set it to whatever you like

garyrs

thanks mart very helpfull , i tink i may just go -40mm as i still dont think it will be as low as what the car was when i first got it , does your car groung out at all with passengers ? gary

garyrs

i would have gone coilover route but i wont rlly be doing any sort of track action and i have only just put the new konis on

All together for the queen's highways yes. I'm doing a trackday @ bedford autodrome on the 2nd feb, so most of the time the car or me or both are in the garage at the moment tinkering.

lamb chops

I wouldnt change the Ahmed ones you wont find better... If you do want to though i will buy them off you

garyrs

good to hear thats she is up and running may pop along to the autodrome ,im from luton so may as well visit the family on the sunday

garyrs

hello lamb chops , i know that i wont fing a better handleing set up bar coilovers , i have seen a few threds were mike rainbird has recomended these to people over cheap coilover kits ,but i just cant deal with my car being that high
the funny thing is that i bought a hole set of koni shocks and ahmed springs from alex d on here ,then swaped my old springs that were on my cossie in the pics above with a friend ,and they were ahmed leada springs to so i have 2 full sets of ahmed springs and i dont rlly want either of them

This is where I something about a pot and a black kettle, is it not?

garyrs

fpmsl ,you no what dean i dont think that there is much in it you no
i think that i will have to take some pics of my car as it is just to show just how serious it is

i should of said that im not going to do any serious track stuff dean

i would like to see a side by side test with ahmed spring along side some thing cheap like jamex springs to see what sort of laptime diferance there is on the same cossie i just cant belive there will be that much differance in laptime
