Yellow speed and more

[mulaz]

Over the last few weeks i have had my car up on my ramps to do some maintenance to improve the handling and also a few other odds and sods

I fitted Tien springs with a 30mm drop along with new shocks a few years ago and these were a great improvement over my old worn units but to be honest still not as sharp as i wanted.

Now after many hours of cursing removing rusty worn out parts my car now sits on new Yellow speed coilovers along with new wishbones , Track rod ends, steering bulkhead gator.
Then this was all finished off with a coat of Dinitrol.

Have the car booked in for a 4 wheel set next week but even before this i have been testing my car on my way to work and back ,the handling has improved considerably over Tiens .
The steering is so much lighter and sharper than before

Will post an update after the alignments is done but happy for now

Nice one Ian, look forward to the pictures. Also your feedback on the coilovers.

I love my Yellowspeed coilovers.

I did have an issue a couple of months ago due to my own stupidity, I stiffened the dampers up half way on all corners. Don't do this, if your on the public roads   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  .

I have now got the dampers set at 1 click front and 2 clicks on the rear. The ride is a lot smoother.

Although the best review would be trying other cars back to back with different coilovers manufactures.

I think you will really like yours Yellowspeed coilovers.

Cheers MR Roadie 2 for the info on the damper settings . Like you I wound them up too far. I had them up to 18 clicks at the rear and 14 up front. So at lunch time adjusted them down as you had recommend to 1 front and 2 rear . Did a quick drive and the ride is smoother and feels just as quick without roll around the bends .

You'll have it back up  s:) s:)  You'll see. If you know you're going to be in smooth roads with nice bends, 10ish is the right place to be  s:) s:)  You can keep the power on in long bends

Had my 4 wheel alignment done today at AK Automotive ( The car with the engine in the wrong place Specialist ) near Gateshead
All readings now in the green and the handling is sweet as can be

Have to say that i am already well impressed with the yellow speed coilovers , roll on some dry days
