John K Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Mid September Mr Grumpy will be in the garage for a gearbox swap, I'm thinking about a suspension makeover at the same time. I want a nice compliant road setup, a bit more GT'ish Do I look for a particular brand? For example I have heard Spax are all pretty hard, or does each manufacturer have a range of rates from hard to soft. And because I just want road use, can I go for 'simpler' components with less adjustments etc as I can just set it up and leave it.

Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Hello. I am having all my shocks and springs replaced on Friday at Blink Motorsport. Buttercup is only used on the road and Blink recommended Protech shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Protech have been great on my car too, road and track. The important thing is to have them valved to match our light cars, most shocks are designed for much heavier vehicles and can end up over-damped.

Terry Everall Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I also recommend Protech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwarks Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Protech +1 Got mine from ProComp in B'Ham, they re-valve them to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Anyone can order dampers valved to their own spec. The key is knowing the spec you want and having the damper dyno to measure and then be able to analyse the results. Fortunately BLiNK also have those facilities (And a rapidly mounting set of race wins and high scores to go with it!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Chase (NICO) - Shropshire & Mid-Wales AO Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 You won't go far wrong with Protech. Good product at a good price and nice people to deal with. Just make they are valved correctly and matched as a pair. Both Blink and Procomp can do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
