    In the same boat we are getting TEIN Basis which are not adjustable at all. Just hope they got it more or less right.

    Try to play with damping in the rear. Maybe a little bit softer would work better for you. If too little damping it will pogo and bottom out, if too much it will hop on bumps. There is no such thing as the best setting, any setting is a compromise.

    I think I found your videos on YouTube

    I've set it to the softest on the rear. Ran out of dial! haha... Hoping laceygirl would get the GAB and see how that set goes..

    Actually in the long term, like 5-10years later, I'm thinking of getting a Mini One D halfcut and dropping the B37 engine into it. Most likely will need a custom suspension by then..

    I really want the GAB SS ones Mousee, but I had a guy here at my house tonight who works for Pedders Suspension, his older brother owns the franchise, and he recommended a pair of Pedders coilovers, and because he's a good mate, I'd get mates rates, and installation on the cheap... Plus he's always available to adjust them for me.... :-)

    Very likely. Sorry about the video lengths, I have no idea how to edit that. I would have had more but I lost the GoPro halfway through the season. I ended up in 2nd for the club novice championships and 3rd for the regional novices. So not bad.
