Nigel A Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Hi Nick When I bought my conversion from CTM, Colin supplied front and rear konis and also set them up to match the springs using his experience to gauge the best settings. The handling is great and have left well alone in case I make the handling worse Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

had17462 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Many thanks, took me nearly 4 hours to fit the lower wishbone superpro bushes today ,lol nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damson6 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Nick I'm not sure I would go for alloy brackets for a road car, play safe and pick steel. As for S/Abs you pay your money, Spax are fine for most Koni are better quality but cost more! I once fitted the Revington S/Abs in the spring conversion great for track days but no ground clearance for normal motoring so don't go overboard. Best of luck Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Not the same at all. Your trailing arm is made of ? unsprung weight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damson6 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi Neil Bracket is mounted to chassis not unsprung as is the trailing arm. Regards Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
harrytr5 Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 I have driven for 8+ years with Revington set up and no problems to date. This includes Spa,Le Mans tracks,Stelvio, to name a few. Fitted and forgotten. Regards Harry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
