Re: Differnce between GTV6 and Milano with Bilsteins
There is no internal bumpstops in Bilstein shocks, In monotube struts and Inserts for struts there is, but of couse there is no struts on the GTV6! You can use the B46-1175 and 1176 on your car but you need dustcovers. The main difference between shocks for the the old (pre 85 app.) and new (85 forw...

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
But on the other hand, if you buy shocks like that, that type of problems is very likely, almost standard also in a testing machine!

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
Just to ensure we're on the same page - this is what Digressive damplers plot out like: http://www.949racing.com/server/Tein_Miata_Flex_dyno_fr_revalve.jpg I hope you're not suggesting you'd put something that's progressive on a car - jesus, I've ridden bikes with very basic fixed orifice dampers (...

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
To be honest, I have newer seen such a thing as a linear damper, not in cars anyway. They all had curves, but maybe not digressive pistons! And I have seen hundreds in a professioal testing machine. But it's your choice.

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
I could not care less, i have met so many race engineers that did know very little about shockabsorbers, they mainly use them, and specialists made them! But there is many ways when you come to shocks, many more then most people understand.

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
I would say that you have recieved some misinformation, i would agree if it was for a family saloon or a offroad vehicle where you would need as much wheel travel as possible combined with best possible comfort. But you will loose out in handling and steering sharpness. The more" eager" yo...

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
Ahhhh, input :D The car is intended to be purely for road use and is standard in weight. Spring rates have been changed a fair amount. The front is 2.5 times as stiff (standard TB + a 225lb/in spring) I calculated it as having the equivalent of a 375lb/in spring over the damper and a wheel rate of ...

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
I would say that digressive is not for this purpose, more for a car that you want to get maximum wheel travel and comfort out of the suspension.

Re: Spring Rate to Damper Ratios???
There is much more to it than the damping figure at 0,52m/sek, this is a figure that is beeing used only for a ruff comparision between dampers. Actually you can build very different damping curves for different purposes that ends up with the same figure at 0,52m/sek. What is your porpose with the c...
