best Damper set up for XE nova (RSX spax KIT) ?



not realy sure wots best with the damper settings on my nova, got them both pretty hard at the mo, an its feels a bit bouncy, but also harsh on the bumps, handles well (need an LSD though!) but sum advice on wot the best set wouidl be would be great, its lowered bout 35-40mm at the front, an 50 ish at the bak.... dampers have bout 30 clicks goin form hard to soft to hard (obviously!!!) could it be that the back is lower than the front??
thanx

I always ran mine a bit stiffer on the back.
During fast cornering this gave great neutral steer characteristics.

Yep.

I'd ditch the front ARB if you havn't already done so, as that healps in the war against understear.

Strengthening your bottom arms is also a good thing...

at castle coombe i ran the back quite hard and the fron almost as soft as it goes otherwise you will get loads of understeer. dont go too low either for handling as a small ammount of lean will acctually help cornering.

It always depends on what make you have on, The settings are different on each but its up to you how you like your ride mate. :D
