Vapour Trails
The Renaissance Man
To clarify, I'm using steeda sport springs, not the ultralites. The drop is 1", 200/175 rates. The sports are in between the ultralites (big drop, softer) and the competition (same drop as sport, highest spring rates).
Biggest issue with ride is impact harshness. The NT05 play a role here, they are known to be harsh but will be replaced soon. I have to check the rear bumpstops, I honestly can't remember if I trimmed them (I installed the springs 8 years ago).
D-specs are usually 4-5 turns out on the street, currently 3 front/4 back. The ride is very firm at this setting and the springs are very well controlled. 5-6 turns is more comfortable for impacts, but rebound control gets quite sloppy/float. I've heard that Koni yellow can deliver more impact forgiving performance without giving up proper rebound control.
To be more specific, the issue is mid corner bumps and uneven surfaces at moderate to higher speeds. The axle feels like it is dancing around.
I've decided that I will add a watts link, likely next spring. It will be a fun experiment if nothing else, and good for the economy.
