GOE HS rods

[gghaggis]

I'm rationalising the rods line up, so have two new products. The new 2 way rods provide standard and +65mm heights. The new 3 way rods provide -20mm, standard and +65mm heights. As before, they both have the quick select feature.

Should be available from the end of next week.

Cheers

Gordon.
If one was to run the -20mm full time,is it advisable to get the wheel alignments altered to suit???.
Also,does the -20mm stiffen the ride up??? Quite happy with the current ride.
Thanks

In the Sport, it makes a noticeable difference to the ride, firming it up. I'll have a set on the D4 next week, but expect much of the same.

Visually, it doesn't look like the cambers are different enough to warrant re-alignment, but I guess time will tell.

Does the Sport and/or D4 have adjustable damping?
Otherwise I would expect the ride to be a little plusher/softer (lower effective spring rate) in compression but a little harsher in rebound.

BTW Gordon the rods I ordered arrived late last week (thanks).

Hi Gordon, can the D3 or D4 still travel at 80kmph on sand with the setting at +65mm?

As long as it is safe to do so, there is no mechanical impediment.

Gordon, just want to confirm that if I order from the online store I will get the -20mm +65mm, three way rods. I bought the second hand set of rims that were on the sight and the -20 will be handy for getting into some car parks as the 265/65/18 lift the old girl up a little.

The page will be updated when the new rods are available. Won't be until after I return from Europe late August.

I like the idea of having a + and a - in a same rod, will order those when they become available. The way I see it, it's best of both worlds: proper 4WD clearance for the weekend and a sleek look for running around town.

Hi there, When set to +65 can off road, extended and emergency height modes still be used safely?

I use the minus 20 setting with my Llams on smooth highways and it is good, firm and solid on the road and great on long sweeping curves, but if the road gets a bit rougher and around town it is definitely a more comfortable ride at normal height.

Have you had your wheel alignment re-set to suit the -20??? If not,do the tyres still wear correctly???
Thanks

You'll be higher than standard emergency mode. The extended mode will still activate, but the compressor will run a lot harder. Emergency height won't raise it any higher and the compressor will reach thermal cut-out.

No I haven't but I don't use it all that often. I couldn't tell you about tyre wear because I am having alignment and tyre wear issues in any case and I am pretty certain it is unrelated to occasional use of the minus 20 setting.
