Well got mine and am fitting today but not sure how you go about setting them up. I know how to adjust them. It isn't difficult. I just don't know what default stiffness should be or how you judge what is right. Is it simply a case of trial and error. Adjust go for a drive, adjust again, drive so on and so forth?

Start at middle setting and drive it for a few days to let them bed in and then see what you think?

if there as good as the fronts you`ll be well happy.

Lee, rears are on shelf now.
Infact, 10 sets are on the shelf.

So are the front ones finished now?

No, absolutley no time, they have been sat on the shelf for ages, someone I trust has taken them to try, got a few niggles to iron out, then my machine shop is getting a new cnc laith at the end of the month.
Workshop is booked up solid until september, leaving no room for product developement.

Will advertise the mechanic vacancy soon as it's a bit of a joke if you want anything doing you have to wait 4 months.

But, news is that the dampers are doing okay, like I say a couple of niggles which are to do with the spring seat, design will change slightly and they will be made in aluminium and use a thrust washer to make adjustments easier, also have to seal said washer/bearing assembly to stop the ingress of water and "pooh".

Well had these on for a hundred miles or so and can report that they are absolutely fantastic. Changed the feel of the car. Cranked it up a couple of clicks past default setting and they are great. I have much more confidence throwing the van around the bends now. Just got to wait till those front ones are finished so I can get me a pair of them as well.

what springs you running with them rob.

I think they are the standard rear springs off a 14" Syncro. They have a spacer not sure what thickness. Would need to check to be sure. I think my fronts are uprated springs 2WD by Spidan.
