Default Pos swap / part ex - Want Track focused Dampers

Require a Track biased set of Coilover Dampers - Any make considered

Look to Exchange / Part-ex for my Bilstein PPS9 Dampers - Only used for 9 Months / 5,000 Miles - Great piece of kit

Or pos sell the Bilstiens if I can find some Race Dampers from someone else

Cheers

Peter

ps - Don't need now - sorted problem

The Bilsteins are great on Road & Track - but they sem to be 'overwhelmed' when the Semi-Slick A048R Yokohamas are used on Track

I was looking for some stiffer Springs - but thought that a more Race focused set of Dampers may perform better !

Thanks

Peter

Hi
Problem solved - Fitted the Spoon Steering Rack & Suspension Arm Anti-Bump-Steer Kit - Solved the unwanted movements that were being experienced

Anyone with a lowered car - should look at getting this done too

Cheers
Peter

Pete thanks for that!
I was contemplating leaving my kit off and seeing how I go?
Decison made I'll do it tonight seen as the air box is off!

BTW just upgraded my Nitrons to the track version as well!

I suspect Peter and I both have a 25mm drop Nigel. That's from the accurate data points of the wheel arches to the ground From memory, a stock 03 I measured was 770mm and we are 745mm.
