Hi Dave - well, the straight-throughs are now in the loft above my garage, waiting to see if I forgive them for the din and the headaches.
I asked Rutter's also to change the shocks at the first service. Standard units are Konis, non-adjustable. Melvyn had Spaxes in stock, so I took the opportunity. His mechanic Peter set them at the softest setting, so I could gradually fiddle with them with experience.
Going back the 85 miles home from Rutters, I have to say I had been expecting a bigger difference "before and after", and certainly a bouncy ride. Not at all. It was as if nothing had really changed.
My feeling is that, to get suspension to respond, you need to have spring rate variable, too. The standard rock solid spring setup overcomes any attempt by the shocks to do their work. What's your feeling?
I can't load a picture of the car, as I don't have a website, but I'll look into setting one up.
Allan
