Rear uprights
4 posts
• Page 1 of 1
I have just purchased a pair of spyder fabricated rear uprights, I am going to fit Koni dampers from TTR. I got Spyder to assemble the bearings and outboard (Kelvedon) driveshaft, it seemed the sensible thing to do. Both bearings are the larger inner type. I am also going to use TTR springs as I have TTR front suspension fitted.
Any comments on these choices of spring and damper?
Also what supplier for the spring top cup? TTR or Kelvedon or other?
Best regards
Mark

So,
I bought Koni yellow dampers and springs from TTR, and Kelvedon alloy top spring caps.
I have the progressive bumpstops shown below. What’s the best length on a Plus 2? I think original length plus 20mm seems to be the suggested length.
Best regards

I missed your post first time - shame as I have a selection of hardly used narrow springs of varying rates I could have offered.
I played around with the rear spring set up for ages on my Plus 2. I have to say those yellow bump stops I found to be too hard and I settled on a 65mm polyurethane Powerflex bump stop from Burtons which I found to be just right (without the alloy spacer).
