New boots

[blujay10]

Picked the chim up from another great service by Paul at Walldonway. All fine, Gaz shocks all set up properly for the new Dunlop SP9000's all round. Bit "slippy" for the first 50 or so miles, however have now done 100 or so and have to say I'm very pleased with them. Car handles much better. Just wondered what pressure they should be as they are 26 at the rear and 24 at the front at the moment. Does this sound about right?

I have a 2000 450 with standard shocks, PAS, and Sp 9000's all round.
I run 22 front and 24 rear as per book. Like the colour of your car,(see my profile)!!!

Like you I run SP 9000's and I run your pressures. I feel the book pressures make the car feel a bit saggy. I also Like the colour of your car, (see my profile)

I am sorry but I dont know the number of clicks. Paul at Walldonway fitted and set them up for me. Have been back to have them adjusted a few times and now car handles properly. Have a word with Derek at Absolutely Shocks, he is really helpful and will talk you through the sort of driving that you do, so that he can give you the right settings for you. Mine needed adjusting after I fitted the new tyres so I guess its down to personal preference. Hope you get it sorted.

Hi Andy,
Been following your rebuild story and have to say what a fantastic job you have done. Also a big thank you for sharing it with us, I am sure that we have all learnt loads from you. Only disappointment is that you missed the opportunity to respray in the correct colour for a TVR !!
