Koni yellows, PMS top mounts and new wishbones fitted

[Chri5]

Well, 1/2 of them!! :S

Been spending the day fitting the new Koni's, solid top mounts, ARB bushes and wishbones today
Did the fronts first, all went well until I moved onto the rears, only to find I dont have all the washers etc required (After looking at other threads regarding the fitment) Got on the blower to the supplier and they cant do anything about it until Monday unfortunately but they said they will get the kit sent straight out

Not a major problem just a little inconvenient! But so far, very impressed with the front end feel now, I also adjusted the camber again and did a DIY alignment for now and it turns on a sixpence, I found myself correcting my steering inputs on roundabouts as it turned so much tighter than usual

Will stick some pics up tomorrow!

Koni yellows are one of the best things I did to the Trophy. Seriously impressive bits of kit.

All round? Or rears only?

Rears only of course! Jonff had them all round on his Cup though iirc and they were impressive.

Apologies, I wouldn't expect such profane actions.

On hard it bounces round like a trailer but so so adjustable mid corner (with ARB and springs in mine) or sorted when on track, on soft it's perfectly matched.

They definately introduce some good lift-off oversteer when firmed up at the rear I've not got them full hard on the road though, I think 1.5 turns in from soft on the rear, and 1 turn in up front

 

[aucky]

Iirc my rears are half a turn soft to hard for road use

 

[Chri5]

I've yet to experiment with lots of different settings but will definately have a play now I've got decent tyres back on

 

[jesus]

Guessing that was one of the first things you tested out?

Do the fronts go up to two turns like the rears or are they different?

 

[Chri5]

Maybe a little You can really get it to step out if you're enthusiastic, but its nice to have that extra "tightening" if you need it mid corner

Yeah, 2 full turns from soft to hard all round
