I am not happy with the handling of my V8S or just thinking it could be better. I adjusted the (standard?) Konis already 3 times in one year, but cannot find it. It is either to soft or to hard/bumby/jumpy etc. Anyway, a lousy job with this type of internal adjustables.
Probably my springs are a little old, allthough the height of the car is OK. I would prefer it a bit lower.
I´d like to have less roll in the car too.

- What´s the difference in suspension parts between the V8S and his smaller brothers?
- PeterH´s Nitron are to expensive for max. 2 trackdays/year in Holland. What´s a cheaper and good alternative for a V8S?
- My anti-roll bar is 22mm. Is it possible/wise to fit a thicker one in front and an additional in the back?
- Is the 6-cyl. S anti-rollbar really thicker and if so, who used it in a V8S?

Lots of discussions already on PH about the shocks/springs, but I am not sure if shocks/springs for V8S and the other S (sorry guys) are the same.

Looking out for all your replies and experiences!
Best TVR wishes and weathers from Holland,

Thanks for your replies guys,

But I'd like to know more about the difference between Spax, Avo and Gaz, including some suppliers.

And what about my questions about the the suspension differences and the anti-rollbar?

A sunny TVR day today,
