this week ive had new rear dampers/springs fitted to my 350 at Trackcar solutions,as usual great service from joolz/vicky.

after a test drive and chat with joolz a few weeks ago we decided just to replace the rears as the ride was very hard and on the bump stops a lot of the time. front though was fine.

i went for protechs with a shorter damper body to give more travel on compression before hitting the stops,ive only had chance to do 50 miles or so,ill do more over the weekend,but first impressions are very good.

obviously im now clear of the bump stops which is a great advantage,and at the moment im running slightly softer than before,at the same ride height,with less jumping about over bad surfaces and of course i can alter height and damping if i want to at any time.

if like me you live in a area with lots of potholes etc then this upgrade has real merit i think. i dont mind a sporty ride but the originals on the back were TOO hard for me.

saves a bit of cash too,only having to do the back.
