Car currently has GAZ Gold Pro suspension, feeling a bit of a 'skit' at the back end when going over certain bumps in the road, anyone got the same suspension running a good fast rode set up, if so what are your settings?

My only other gut feeling is the skitchyness could be a bush on its way out, but easier to try the suspension first as its only when provoked by a bump not at all steering / power inputs.

With a car like this I'd be getting the suspension checked, just in case. When was the car last serviced and given an expert look-over? When was the alignment last checked (12k service item I think).

Or your tyre pressures could be too hard (most owners say 24-25 PSI, some say 26 PSI).

Clicks from hard or soft? I have Nitrons so there is no point comparing clicks.

I had my Chim with GGP set firmer at the rear first of all and then changed the rear to be softer than the front and very pleased with the improvement. How many clicks is probably personal taste but around the mid-point would be a good starting point then tweak till happy would be my suggestion.

Yeh, will work more on the damping later wondering if the spring rates sound right? Softer at the rear is always a safer option in a car like a TVR.

Think mine are fully anticlockwise (soft) rear and around mid setting front.

Still feels quite hard at the back over some bumpy surfaces at 30 - 50 mph but really smooth and planted at high speeds, especially when cornering.

No under or over steer at all - just point the nose at the apex and it goes there.

Must get her out of the garage again this week.

Hi guys!
I've GGP on my T350t rr by 3 months, but they are too soft for me. 11 clicks front - 15 back. Mine should have a total of 20 clicks, right?
I've heard many GGP are defective, how can i understand if mine works fine??

Thanks to all! Max from Italy (the only italian t350 owner, i think)
