which shocks?

[Quantum Steve]

Help please, got the protechs - pure Automotive porn - all fitted but the wheels are still away for straightening, refurbishing and new tyres, can someone please give me some rough setting so I can get prepared while everything is in the air? I'm thinking the number of visible threads at the top front and back to give an approximate ride height, I've gone for the road springs if that makes a difference. The plan is to get it all together and then corner weighted if there is still a planned group day.

Hi steve , try adjust the spring platforms down until the spring do not rattle about then add another 10mm of thread , set them all the same way , set diaper setting 6 clicks on both from fully soft .

Has the last set sold or do you have another set ? If so I would be interested in a set with road springs.

All Set!! Thanks Tux!

I suspect I can just reuse my M-400 bolts or do you know the spec. of the bolts needed?

Thanks again!

P.S. Tux ...we still have some carbon bits to talk about ;-)

[TuxMan]

Yes Brian std bolt will work fine .

[TuxMan]

1 set of these left on the group buy if anybody is interested ?

Now I can see the light for my car to be finished, I can finally get Tux's shocks fitted along with geo set up :-)

[searsy]

Martin, are you fitting them yourself or getting someone to do them? Thinking of hiring a lift/tools for the day to do mine. Simon says they are easy enough for a novice like me to do.

[TuxMan]

Ian if you want to have a ride up one Saturday and I can fit them for your , only takes an hour or so .

Tux

Was going to but car is going for new interior, service and gear linkage mod. So why they have it they are going to fit them and do the geo.

Hi tux dropped you a message on facebook about these today. Awaiting a call back from Kevin at protech or if you could let me know if they are still available I will take the last set. Cheers

[TuxMan]

Hi mate , as far as I know they are still available !! Any problems give me a shout .

[brappage]

Cheers tux. Phoned Kevin back today and passed over payment details and he said they should be out in a few weeks. He didn't seem sure if this was the last set of the group buy but hopefully your not going to be left paying for any or stuck with spare sets. Cheers again. Looking forward to tying them out, as much as the car drives great you've got to assume 12 year old suspensions got to be passed its best even with the refurbs it's had.

[TuxMan]

Thanks for the info mate I will give Kevin a shout to confirm all the details !! Hope you get on ok with them .

Hey Simon, that's a very civil offer, am very grateful, I've also got a friend who races in the Caterham Cup who is local and a dab hand with a spanner, if he is busy I may just take you up on your offer and blow some cobwebs out along the way.

Cheers Ian

So think mine arrived yesterday but missed the post. Need to try and get the mrs to collect tomorrow. Looking forward to getting them on the car! So as a rough rule of thum you just set the heights as per tot eh height of the cill and then adjust the setting to suit. Going to book it in for a full set up at kenny Browns in Hillington Glasgow who gets a great name for corner weighting and track prep etc. thanks again tux for arranging.
