www.aurok.com is what you need; they do ohlins which are not cheap but worth every penny. Contact Dave and you'll be floatin'

There are loads of different options for upgrading.........

Nitrons appear to be great but are about £1400 (I think!!.)

IMHO best person to speak to on here is Track car (Joo) as he is a bit of an expert....

My Tuscan feels every bump at the mo and im just awaiting a set of bespoke Protech dampers from trackcar, then will be getting Austec to fit (Joo is a bit too far or id get him). The Protechs are cheaper than Nitrons and im having them made specially for road use (Possibly odd track day!!!)

Also GAZ have some out but I dont know that much about them, only heard good things though.
Im no no means an expert, but im sure that there will me someone with more knowledge than me along soon!!!

Worth giving joolz at Track Car Solutions a call, he specialises in TVR suspension upgrades.

The protechs are my personal choice for road use .. for the same price as single adjust nitrons you cna have double adjust proetchs, so if you can't get the balance you want from that kit it's possibly not in the car to be found!

Rod builds the bespoke protechs/double adjusts himself and he alternates a fortnight on/off with his house in the channel islands and the protech HQ in melksham so delivery isn't instant, but much better to have something configured to you and your car than an off the shaelf item IMO.

I just posted a thread on this a couple of weeks ago, it was titled "can I soften my suspension?" or something like that.
I'm still undecided what to do as there is a few options, who do you listen too!!?? I may contact my local TVR dealer see what they say.

I'd listen to Julian (Trackcar) as he's been there, done that as far as TVR suspension goes.
