hi guys. i have sent my shocks of to B.A.D motorsport for a refurb. john there is great he has informed me the rears are not worth refurbing as are in a really bad way. what are me options. he says he can get bilstein ones for about 200 or can make me some full adjustables for about 240 a corner. what do you reckon or is there a even better way
BAD did mine earlier in the year they came back looking new, the final bill was more than expected but I now have completely adjustable and re gassed dampers with special valves inserted so they can be filled up again. Handling is much improved and I couldn't fault Johns helpfulness even keeping me updated on progress when I was in Cyprus on holiday. Couldn't fault BAD designs.

[/URL]From memory they cost just under £1200 i think, including the springs and ready to bolt on the car. (Replacement shocks were something like £280 each + vat from noble.) I only went for the single adjustable shocks as they're good enough for me, but being able to adjust them is great! I can have them set about the same as standard shocks then stiffen them up a bit for the track, also adjusting the height is easy too. Go on you know you wana! 
its done ive gone for it. also only gone for single adjustable and come out at same price is was alot more at first includind springs but i got a nice discount. should be ready in 10 days. you dont happen to have the suspension settings that i can send john so he can set the suspension as well.

You wont regret it, only problem is when you get them out of the box all nice and shining you wont want to put them on the car to get dirty. I dont have the settings to hand but i can get the car out over the next couple of days and let you know what i have them set to if you like?
I will send you the settings soon as, then at least you have a good point to start from to get yours set to how you like it, but getting them set up correctly is all part of the fun!

They look great guys .....stop tempting me with more new stuff ......
just for a bit of info do you guys know the spring rating for the front and rears ??
After all the hard work you've been doing, it would be a shame to leave those tatty old shocks on the car, go on treat yourself! just for a bit of info do you guys know the spring rating for the front and rears ??
I'm not sure of the exact spring rates but john did measure mine to make sure the new ones are about the same, on my invoice for the springs it says front 7" 425lb and rear 8" 575lb so i guess they are about that?Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
