Grimice, what are your spring rates? are you still running softer/less in the rear than the front?

14" Bilstein short bodys all round. The flex is good but the front still needs attention.Quote:

180lb fronts, still can't really get the front working as well as I'd hoped.
Car is certainly capable as is, but it's not flexing as I expected.

Keen to see others feedback, Wayne? How are your arms going. I know you have what looks to be more even flex, where as mine seems to flex the rear way more then the front in all scenarios now.
Have just fitted 250lb rear springs in place of the old to try stiffen the rear and force the front to work harder, will post results when I have them.
Also Greg? any news on the 3" version?
Hi Steve, Some info if your still contemplating increasing your travel.Quote:

My current shocks are approx 880mm extended and 515mm compressed measured from centre of eye to centre of pin mount (not base). Custom upper mounts were required to fit them.
The up travel is only about 5 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear, the rest is all droop.
Greg did say it was very quiet in the rover department...
If they returned phone calls and emails they would probably get more sales. Still waiting😕
I'm still happy with my arms, i needed castor correction arms anyway so it wasn't a huge amount more to get these. I'd say there is a 50-60% improvement of articulation over the stock arms. No, you won't get 3-link levels of articulation, but these arms provide good road handling which is important to me.
I've put around 30,000kms on the arms and no issues, still on the original bushes.
Like i said in an earlier post, the market for these arms is overseas, unfortunately there just aren't enough aussies building tough rovers, hopefully this will start changing. Am i the only one that wants to se an ex-army 110 2 door soft top on 37" sticky treps? :p
Hi
My two bobs worth.
I'm happy with mine. Drives well, slight lurch to side on a brake stab only real difference.. Really need some 12+ inch shocks though. Don't like the crappy washers, why not give us a single thick one at least some effort?
I can sorta see why there is no market though. Down here in Vic may people
who wants to run a very capable rig are using a Patrol as the base car.
Then maybe 80 series LCs and Hilux's there not much out there with heavily modded rovers. Plenty of 'normal' mods (2" lifts, etc) but 35s, 4 inch lifts, reduction gears, suspension component replacement etc. really not that many about.

Don't know-don't care anymore..
Out of curiosity, what information needs to be relayed over the phone that hasn't already been covered in this thread?
