The A110 wheels thread (OEM and aftermarket)

I should also mention I have a puncture warning on, so the above could potentially be affected by tyre pressures.

I found today my tyre pressures were quite low, with one front wheel certainly below the 1.6 bar minimum where the puncture warning is activated, which is quite likely why the steering felt a bit numb. There is still a noticeable difference in ride and character, but I feel the gap is slightly closing to the 18"s with the pressures topped up to the same 29psi.

After some more driving I find the 296mm brakes do have a softer pedal/less bite compared to the 320mm, which I find most noticeable in traffic, although perhaps they're also bedding in.

To achieve a softer but still controlled ride, I really wouldn't know which "quality" dampers would achieve this. Thoughts anyone?

I mean, quality damping is quality damping, irrespective of spring rate. As long as they have the travel for it, I'd say any of the aftermarket dampers with standard springs would give just the ride you're looking for.

At the moment there are Ohlins, ASTs, Bilsteins and Tractive, right? Of those I'd guess tractive to be the most configurable.

Will the standard springs fit the ast dampers though?

And where do you look at the ohlins ones? I’ve looked and I can’t see that they are available anywhere?

No the standard springs wouldn’t fit AST coilovers.

Thanks that’s what I thought. So for standard springs really you’ve only got the bilstein option. Appreciate clearing that up.

Newly refinished Evo Corse wheels in Lamborghini Gold but looks more like bronze, nice subtle metallic flake in it

Triple Bronze.

Neodyme? (Slightly more 'bronzey' than it looks in the photos)
