hi,
is there any spring/shock combo which gives the back end a nicer feel.
as my spax rsx setup is aweful.

not sure if its just the shocks or the spring poundage etc.

cheers

If it's a full RSX kit then the rear shock absorbers are adjustable, you can make them harder or softer. Use a screwdriver and rotate the adjuster anti-clockwise to make it softer

Jack the back end up first though.

Maybe mine's older then, you need to use a screwdriver on mine.

I know what you mean mate, mine are stuck on full hard

It goes round several times so make sure you turn it as far as it'll go anti-clockwise. I think it went round at least 5 or 6 times when I tried it out.

You need different springs. The spax ones will be designed for a standard weight rear end. Find out the poundage and then the weight of the rear end now and buy new springs to suit.


I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.
