where to get my suspension done?

bradders · 21-Jun-2009, 23:36

staying with the rear for now, but need heavier spings in the frontg. Any reccomendations? prefer south of Birmingham so I can deliver and collect!!

Do a trackday with No Limits and get Colin at 100% Suspension to do it for you, then test it for 7 sessions whilst he adjusts as required...there is no better way to test it and get sound advice from a real professional.

Or, you don't need to do the trackday, just turn up at Brands or something and Colin will do it for you.

need springs; max preload, and compression, and still bottoming out the forks at cadwell! Rick from JHP checked the front sag and it was spot on....just way too soft!! So 1.1kg springs for me

Steve Jordan in Bookham set mine up and he is an Ohlins dealer.

Gary was a front runner for many years in the North Glos race club and has a great test road outside his front door, just remember to slow down for the single lane hump back bridge

have had fork and shock rebuild work done at Steve Jordan and Setup Engineering. Both good but took a while.

Had the 848 setup for me (stock kit, just settings) when new by Rob @ Pro-Twins, did it while I waited
