Suspension adjustment - bump/rebound

[_Nathan_]

There is a fixed bump and rebound curve - that single adjuster simply moves both bump and rebound along that curve. You have to be a very good driver or have data logging on the dampers to get a benefit from the 4 way Intrax IMO (and also that of Intrax when I discused upgrading to 4 ways with then to see if I'd actually be able to make them work better than the 1K2s).

With a fixed curve at least you are limited to how rubbish you can make the setup!

And don't mess around with the other bit.

although the other bit (well around that bit anyway) is the camber adjustment plate as you already know!

Off the top of my head i can't remember, i've got it written down at home. But i remember that road settings are pretty soft.

Exhaust will be on for drive home !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Daz

Maybe we can get a thread/sticky going about users settings on different tracks for the different makes of coilovers.

That way we can all learn from each others experiences.

Jo,

Pass on my thanks to Colin, that write up is just spot on - gives me a complete understanding of what Im adjusting, and how it'll affect the car.

I'll have a fiddle with it this weekend and see how I get on. If Im having problems I'll give you lads a shout as you know your stuff. You open saturdays?

I'll be around but Colin will be training. Give me a call if you need to and then he'll either return your call that evening or on Sunday.

Enjoy the fiddling!

Jo

Thank you

Well I had a fiddle with the settings last night, and took it a good spin today.

Ride is now perfect, its firm but not harsh. Follows contours alot better and reacts to bumps/ dips well. Higher speeds are good, but still not perfect - still got that floaty feel - which on road is acceptable.

Settings are as follows (from Full Hardest -turn towards softer)

FRONT
Bump - 1.5 full turns
Rebound - 2.0 full turns

REAR
Bump - 1.5 full turns
Rebound - 2.5 full turns (I thought this was just 2.0 ft's, but looking at my notes Ive got 2.5 written - I'll check sometime, if I aint had too many pies, its tight underneath!)

Daz & Bealo, get your settings fired up
Would be a good idea to have a 'KW settings' specific thread really for comparison.

I'm running Intrax 1K2 suspension and I have been wizzing around on max softness but having found John suspension settings list, he recommends front 30 off max and rear 35 off max.

Once I get it back I'll try 20/25 and see what the difference is...

I found Intrax's basic suspension FAQ page with links for other stuff here if anyone is interested.

PS Mods, can we add 'Intrax/KW' to the start of this thread's title and place it in the tech area please? Perhaps just Intrax as there is a KW thread which has just started...

Going back to my picture does the 50 click adjuster alter both rebound and compression at the same time?

"1K2" “2-way adjustable mono tube : high end modular built”.

Adjustable;
1 - Rebound and compression damping-range in 50 positions.
2 - Spring-preload fully adjustable.

Other features;
3 - Mono-tube damper construction.
4 - Internal pressurised nitrogen reservoir.
5 - Advanced thermostat valve for constant damping at whole temperature-range.
6 - Modular built for endless flexibillity.

Options;
1 - Length-adjustment mostly +/- 5mm.
2 - Choice of materials like lightweight aluminiumt/titanium or strong Steel/INOX*.
3 - Internal check-valve for completely seperated compression and rebound.
4 - Can be combined with revolutionary 45mm Slider STRUT-Concept.
5 - Can be combined with fully adjustable camber-plates.
6 - Can be combined with 36mm, 40mm and 46mm main piston diameter.
7 - Can be combined with 14mm, 16mm, 20mm and 22mm piston-rod diameter.
