help with suspension for track

Post by spudep91 » Thu Apr 03, 2014 3:09 pm

Would yous recommend us putting 2 koni yellow with tannabel springs into the back of are track car and on front just standard shocks with tannabel springs. Would this be ok?

if thats all you have buddy then it should be ok the fronts wont feel as sure as the rears and there may be a bit of dive under braking

from the point of view of the chassis the konis would be an upgrade because the damping is adjustable

If you looking for upgraded front shocks I have cheap almost new bilsteins for lowered suspensions for sale. Unfortunattely also not adjustable
