stiffer springs

[GT6 M]

I got some extra stiffy springs, as 650,s i thowt are actually too soft
and no only that, butt, the adjustable  shocker damping just wont cope wid 650s as good as they could.
{manufacturers say the OE are ok for upto 600 max , hence they cannae cope }

as on full adjust for the 650s, ther still  too much poppoising at speeds on bumy b roads
fine on flat a roads. upto warp 1
Butt, ..floated too much for my lik,n at warp 1.3 on smoothe roads, as undulations  get bigger at high warp,!!!

So, got some double adjustable shocks med up,  v v reasonable too, direct frae the manufacturers
thee,s will be valved t,handle the stiffer shocks alot better than the standard adjustables

Also, got the shock bodys an inch less, so as to give some suspensionee  free play, as original type,
that every yan gets is really no good if yer frunts lowered
as 1 inch free play,untill bump stops come into play just aint enough
meb,e sumet for folk t,consider whenst getting new shocks if yer cars lowered

All this cos super stikkee tyres are noo causing havok wid me original set up

got the springs, but shoks are a week t,mek, so cant say wot it,ll be like till I get the shoks an springs fitted
ohh the joys of tinkerate,n !!

I'm on 500lb springs and standard dampers up front. Never had an issue with bouncy castle moments - one bounce off speed bumps and then it's steady. Maybe it helps having a much lighter engine?

Yip thats the prob wid a GT wid a heavey 2.5 up frunt
just too much weight for standard dampers,or adjustables  standard an v stiff springs at speed
OK just pottering about though

500 should be perfect on yours Pete
butt, I tink 900,s would shek yer fillins oot, 😲
