Noticed last few run outs that i have managed to get in between the snow and rain,that she handles not hard ride but can only describe as slightly bouncy?

Gaz golds on,checked by TVR garage to be at the correct ride height and bounce settings

Standard estorills with correct TOYO T1R tyres and at right psi.

New uprated drop links at rear.

Is it just me being picky or do i need to check elswhere?

COBWEB RUN Sunday...cant wait!!!

Put damping up a notch all round, see what it does! Go two or three clicks and you'll really feel the difference! That's my bet, I have the PRO's about a yr now they seem abit softer than when I first got them! Thank god.

Will look at it but setting is heading hard rather than soft

could have something to do with the cold weather...
the oil is getting a bit thicker then and that could make the shocks more firm?

When you say "and at right psi.", what do you have them at?

I found that I got far better grip and more even tyre wear on the original SO2s and then SO3s by going well below the recommended pressures. I tried the same (low) pressures on the new Toyo tyres and it was like being in a bouncy castle. I had to go up by 5 lbs+.

It might be worth trying a couple of lbs extra, depending on what you have them at now, just to see how that goes?
