Tamora Ride Heights/Protech Settings

[Pursyluv]

Had the Protechs dampers/springs on for 3 months and could do with a bit of advice.

There are 13 clicks on Protechs, now i don't track the car, but have found myself gradually setting the ride firmer week by week to the point where i only have 2 clicks available, even at this the ride still feels quite compliant, however driving through dips the car still hits the stops?????

With what is still a complaint ride could it be the ride heights.....could a fellow owner post their ride height measurements - top of wheel arch to the ground whilst parked on a level surface.

I realise spring rates could be the issue, but i'd like to rule out the ride height first.

Thanks
Bob

Unless there is a specific problem with the shocks and/or springs it does make me wonder why there are so many damper settings available when most will quite clearly be too soft!

Joolz i'll have a crack at it this weekend, if still no good, do you know anyone that can sort it for me????

Yes. Or buy from someone whos done it before.

I bought them direct from Protech

Are you suggesting that this product is not actually fit for purpose, as it requires modification before fitting.

Before it goes any further i'm not bemoaning the product just wanting a little assistance in tweaking them - this may change if i can't get them right, but for now they feel good, apart from 3 times in 3 months the car has hit the stops.

I'll post my ride heights later.

Ride heights are:-

NSF 640mm (615mm)
OSF 645mm (625mm)
NSR 675mm (690mm)
OSR 670mm (680mm)

In brackets were the ride heights prior to fitting the Protechs.

As i said previously it would be good to have something to compare with

Maybe you need rethink how you measure your ride heights.

To measure (as I guess you have) to the wheel arches on a TVR is not reliable enough.

Take some measurements at the front corners of the outriggers and go from there...

It's a fair point, i'll check tomorrow - i just hope someone will respond
