Hi, I had this system installed a couple of days ago and have done about 200 miles since.
I am pleased with the suspension refinement system, and I think it represents value for money.
My car is a 1982 4/4, it was fitted with a brand new AVO shock system with Mulberry kit and new springs with a negative camber plate.
A couple of points.
Pros.
I noticed very early on how much it improves the progress of the front end over large potholes and the like, if feels more like riding over the waves as opposed to crashing through them. It is most noticeable in corners as the car quickly settles down after a divergence without the drama.
Cons.
The car can still be coaxed into conditional instability, with a given frequency of divergence, the front end will oscillate up and down, ie nod as it did with my earlier installation. For example on concrete road where the cooling breaks are a fixed distance apart and the car is travelling at say 58 mph. I think I might have preferred to increase the damping to reduce the nodding, however I expect this would effect the overall tuning of the system.
Question
Perhaps the tracking has gone down hill a bit. It is quite controllable with a very light touch on the wheel any drift or sense of the front end wandering stops. It maybe my view is incorrect any expert could better describe it, could I be confusing what is happening with the feel of a much lighter steering load?
For the eagle eyes who might want the almost new AVOs, you will find them in Melvyn Rutter's charity box, give him a ring and I am sure you will get a bargain.
Thats all folks, I am looking forward the next chapter of Suplex development. Hope this was of interest.
Kind Regards
Dave
