I came up with the dampening settings really just by experimenting with the adjusters to give the optimum ride.
I think that the differences are as a result of the weight distribution. Remember that the MR2 is less than 1,300Kg and has almost perfect weight distribution front/rear (48/52%), whereas the fat IS comes in at almost 2 tonnes and is front-heavy.
As far as I can fathom out, the knock comes when the piston either tops or bottoms out, which suggests that there is an optimum ride height for a given car on a given coilover where the piston sits somewhere in the middle of the dampener. Does this make sense?
mr2 is about 950 kg and any inbalance is hardly near perfect
lexus is200 is about 1400 kg, and has a 50/50 perfect balance
950Kg....noooo way
1290Kg.....full tank with passenger. (front axle 530kg, rear 760k
quite right , was thinking of mk1 mr2
not sure you can allow a passenger

About 120 miles for me then!,Might have to take a trek up your way when I need to then!
Would be nice... but not now?... when the new centre is opened it would look like 'jap fess', all the clubs will be invited and it should be a brilliant meet...
new centre !!
when ? where ? tell us more tony

is it a con ?
or is it the fact that the technicians (
) dont know what they are doing or what they should be acheiving to go through the motions and end up with a result is what the techs do and most of joe public accept
if only the public had the knowledge to say "its not right" then maybe these centres would look into training and giving a good service
the problem is: that bad geometry wears tyres down, worn tyres is every tyre retailers fortune , so in theory the worse they set the geometry the more trade they get
a viscious circle for the retailer,

There is an option to input 2 sets of tyre data. It won't suggest a tyre size for you.
but thats what i need !
through guesswork 220/45/17 come fairly close

if you had a 195/65/15 tyre
and you wanted to upsize to 17" tyres
what would be the correct size to maintain the original rolling radius

IS200
originally had the tien coilovers, found they were bumpy, and very noisy and didnt really handle that well
since have changed to the TTE coilovers and found a vast difference, smooth and quiet
no damping adjustment, but to be honest it doesnt need it, set up perfectly, and give great confidence in handling
Starlet
original lowered springs, very soft
now running D2 coilovers , very firm ride, superb handling, and infinetly adjustable although a bit noisy, but altogether ideal for a trackday car, for everday use i wouldnt recommend them
although the tien coilovers are well known and well liked , i feel unless you are spending big bucks on the top model ones, there are far better choices out there
TTE are tried and tested, they were produced for the car and in my mind are just about perfect

Hi Ahmet
Good to "hear" from you, and excellent job.
One little request "view new posts" or "Todays active posts" at the bottom of each page would be good.
second that request

Interesting.... the F1 has high praise in the forums, i am a little un-educated simply because i dont deal with them directly.... The Toyo 888 are they for real? they look like their are made of 'plastic'..
toyo 888`s are just the sexiest tyres you can buy
tony, you can have a feel of mine on saturday

i brought toyos t1-s
because many people recommended them
i must say " i was so impressed.............. i brought another set"

tony
what sort of set up would be best for say :
a front wheel drive car
for maximum traction off the line
ie: tyre pressure
hard /soft damper settings
and again how would this differ from a track setting
its all very well having adjustable dampers, but knowing how to set them would be handy
