They will be on mine the 2nd of july. From what I heard they are suitable for daily driving if you use the softest setting.

@Lauren,

Sounds like a plan.
Are you bringing the Corolla?


@Bravothreezero,

I am very curious to see what it does.
Maybe we can meet up around then?

[Lauren]

Aram, yes, I'm doing the tour in the AE86.

Would the 19th of July be okay? We are leaving Zandvoort in the morning and will be going to Zwartsluis for early evening, so we have all day.

I'm guessing lunch would be good if that's good for you?

[Aram]

Hi Lauren,

That is Tuesday right?
I'm afraid I have to work during the day so I have only the evening.
Are you still in Zandvoort then?
Because Zandoort is 20 minutes for me, Zwartsluis is 1.4 hours.

[Lauren]

Hey Aram,

We'll be in Zandvoort from lunchtime onwards.

We could meet for a beer perhaps early evening?

[Aram]

Hi Lauren,
I sent you a pm. :-)

[Lauren]

Okay, sensible hat on, have decided to order some KYB's from Fensport to sort out the issue with the front dampers being totally screwed, just for the meantime.

Whilst, realitically I can afford to buy CS2's at a grand, I'd rather bank the money for the time being and look at spending over the winter period once I've got my winter wheels.

So for £124 including everything, I've bought a pair of KYB inserts for the front. My main reason for this is that my front end is hopelessly underdamped, so it ruins, turn in at speed, the ride is bouncy and over bumpy roads it doesn't feel good and you cannot carry speed for fear of bouncing off the road. I suspect the car has the original dampers in the front, but this with TRD blue springs is not a good combination. The rear end is fairly well resolved with TRD blue dampers and matching springs.

They are due to arrive on Tuesday.

Oh and Aram, sorry about that PM, realised your car might not be ready in time!

[Aram]

Hi Lauren,

My car won't be ready, that is true, but I'm driving Lennert's (Robokill) car most of the time.
So we can still meet up, maybe Len or others would like to come along.


Did you swap the front shocks yet?

[oldskull]

auch! I am in South of France on 19th July. If I am home I might come to meet

[Lauren]

I think it would be great to have a meet up. Would be lovely in Zandvoort!

I will be changing the front damper inserts this weekend hopefully!
