Hi all contemplating an updated rear arb for the V :awesome:

Had one on my scoob and was great.

Iv noticed there's two options of thickness 22mm and 24mm both adjustable

My question, which one should I get? Suspension is set up for fast road/track use and I'm off to the ring in sept.

The other thing I want to know is will the car need updated mounts if I go for the 24mm? I remember the scoob needed them to fit the 24mm.

Hope that makes sense and any help appreciated

Dan

Fitted :awesome:

It's really good, sharper turn in as it feels the back end wants to follow.

Got the 24mm one and have it on the 24mm (middle) setting and it feels spot on.

Thanks for the advise evo arms

If you see this, can I ask about your tyre pressures. How come you have them that way round hard at the front soft at the rear? Very high too?

good stuff glad your happy :O)


tyre pressures my e 4 should run around

2.2 bar" 32psi front and 1.9 bar 28 psi going by the sticker on the door shut .

and standard tyre size should be

205 / 50 / 16 .

im running e6 wheels with 205 / 45/17 and running the standard pressure's was wearing the inner and outter edges " i think this is due to the lower profile and the narrow tyre on a 7.5j rim "

so have played with the pressures to get the best from the handling and tyre wear .


you are probably running 225/45/17 ??? what pressures are you running :O)

Ahhh they sound more like it, I read your earlier post as 36 front 32 back.

Not messed about yet, just running an even 32 all round.

So am I wrong to think with your tyre pressures you would induce understeer having softer rears?

I'm here to learn, hence the q's lol :razz:

Great links! Thanks for those. Some serious tinkering with set ups before the ring trip in sept :razz:

Just need to figure the BC's out with their damping settings. There's no numbers on them so not really sure what they are on :confused:

Will dig out the geo settings too to see what you think.

I meant there's no numbers on the shockers to judge what they are on.

I went to adjust them and they just kept turning, but from what I've read the will click quite a few times until they hit either max soft or hard. I'm just used to the Gab coilovers I used to have with just 4 settings!

Thanks for all the help

quote "

All variants of BC coilovers feature easily accessible (30-way) adjustment knobs for fine tuning your compression/rebound. Add easily adjustment of ride height and owning a performance coilover system couldn’t be any easier. You choose how low or high you want your vehicle and the patented concave lower locking ring keeps it locked in.

:O)



just count the clicks or mark the adjuster and count how many full turns from stop to stop and half it
