So the crappy weather is YOUR fault then.
Well can I just voice my objection at having to put up with this crap just so you can get the overtime to pay for your new toys. GIT!

Jealous? me? NO!

Yes, thats what I am asking myself too, been podering over which suspension to go for for ages now, have to make a dcision soon before the sprint season starts.
Be interested to know how they are once there installed and you have got a few hundred miles under your belt!

Only got back from Norfolk a couple of hours fiddling with mine ... Sorry not to reply to your text !

Congratulations ...

I managed to strip the whole front suspension, remove the steering rack, remove the rad, changed the front ARB bushes, renewed the purge valve and carbon canister, changed the thermostat and got the forn offside Nitron with the recalcitrant adjuster to start to work again after stripping the spring off and spending an hour compressing and fiddling and essentially cajoling the thing to work again (cheers Jools for the advice on bouncing)

Bushes get pressed out next week, steering rack is going for recon and then all back together 2nd weekend in February.

So keep upi simon, and get them dampers sorted

Don’t forget to count the clicks from hard not soft.

Haven't even got near to starting them yet been non stop work for 5 days and night. Still have the down stairs Flooring to finish off that didn get done due to the Storms ( and me working) Got to get that finished and then into the garage.
One thing does surprise me is in the boxes there is absolutely no paper work of any kind about the shocks... just a nitron decal

Price I paid is on my PH blog HERE

Total Number of clicks varies from one another. On my set, from 23 to 25. Right at the soft end the adjuster is not really doing anything and I think that is where you will find the odd extra click. When you get to full hard there is a definite reference point that should be the same on all four units. So when you count the 12 clicks for road or 9 front 10 rear for track ( that is what I use ) each side should be the same. Think the count from hard thing applies to all dampers of this type.
