hei jeg vurderer et coliverkit fra ireland engineering og har sendt en forespørsel dit Jeg vil ikke at fjæra skal være løs når hjulet er fri fra bakken, men det blir det med dette settet. man har og mulighet for å korte inn fjærbeinet da må man vel nødvendigvis bruke en kortere støtdemper? den vil jo nødvendigvis ha et kortere arbeidsområde? eller er jeg helt på jordet? men i flg ireland vil fjæra fremdeles bli løs er det noen som kjenner til dette settet? mvh Terje P kopi av mail fra ireland engineering Hello Terje, Shortening the struts will not change the need for either tenders or limiting straps - the springs will still be loose when the car is lifted off the ground. All of the same procedures apply as per a standard length strut. The benefit of a shortened strut is that at a lower ride height, you still preserve the stock suspension travel.
