Exclamation Damper length

Hi Guys,

My 2 penny worth....the gaz dampers have threaded spring platforms, and so can be adjusted up and down along the entire length of the damper body. To set the ride height up or down simply screwing this up or down does this a treat.

The problem you have is more likely to be springs that are too short so that you can't adjust enough; or too soft spring rate - this would probably see the spring coil bound.

From memory (but please don't take this as definite)I think my springs are either 10" or 12" and 325lb or 400lb on the rear....this gives loads of adjustment for ride height on the mk 1 suspension (I run approx 140mm ride height to bottom of rear chassis rail)
