Sorry but you are wrong, yes it will slow the amount of roll but it is not what shocks are meant to do, only the spring rate and sway bar will determine how much roll the car has in total and to have the shocks so hard is totally wrong, to have the shocks that hard will not allow the suspension to do what is designed to do, allow the wheel to ride over bumps and keep the wheel in contact with the road with out unsettling the car.

have a look at how HRT and the Fords of Lowndes and the SBR cars ride the ripple strips, thats why they are the fastest cars out there in V8 land they have shocks that work and are not solid so they ride the road and keep wheel contact.

The reason they make them so adjustable is if you can find a billard surface you can run a harder shock setting but as roads are not billard table flat max adjustment is not the right setting but I only have 30 odd years of building and setting up race and rally cars

Yeah I do understand what you mean, I did some thinking about it.... I'm stil lgonna stay hard as they aren't THAT hard, hard for shocks but you can move them by hand when off, I tested that. I jsut really hate the floppy feel, I like to stay flat. And I don't drive on ripple strips, I know they do but I try not too. I do get the lack of grip of buppy corners out in the country and stuff but in the end it doesn't matter as the road isn't a race track. I understand the need to roll over bumps but sure isn't as fun as jumping over them!

so where is the best place to buy shocks for a mini and whats a good reasonable price for a set of four mid rang shocks
