jammy Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Well the rear is all fitted and has rite spring's this time havnt done front yet as awaiting my bumpstop's still but im still concerned about the front shock's. Thay seem rather easy to compress still.not as easy as the gmax were,but the pi shock's were solid when i recieved them and could compress them atall.... am i bein paranoid ? I know a standard shock would do thio but a uprated 1 ? there rear's were quit hard to compress though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Remember it's not the dampers compression your concerned with, it's their extension! How much resistance have you got when you pull the shaft out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammy Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Just checked again and actually qUit abit.did it 3 time's and seem to get stiffer with ever pump/pull. Travell was smooth on depress and some on pull out but alot harder to pull then push. bumpstop's wont be here till the 11th so guees it's a sit back and wait till there on the car now ?

Tony Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Good stuff...... Point to note is that the coil compresses the bump lets say and the "damper" controls the coils release of this energy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
