I have finally cleaned these up and taken some pictures. They are 3-way adjustable which gives you full control over the damping rather than single adjustable which only allows you to change the bump and rebound in the pre-determined ratio.

Removed from my car to fit my Intrax 1K2 suspension. In great condition showing no signs of leaks . The only marks are some paint flaking on a couple of the springs, which is only superficial.

Here are the pictures:









With single adjustable Nitrons going for £800-£900 I am going to price these at £1200

They are based in Hertfordshire but I travel all over the country with work so I could deliver. If you want them fitting to your car I could do that but you would need to come to me

PM me with any questions

Can't see them hanging around for long at that price

They are a bargain

[rob999]

Rob do you know how many miles/how old they are? They had a rebuild in that time? I know you said they are in good condition GLWTS.

Not knowing anything about three ways I'm interested to find out how the third way is adjusted? I can only see two adjustment knobs per damper in the photos.

Kind of want these but would get lost with too much adjustability and end up ruining the handling...

[RobNA]

Thanks for the PMs. These are now sold

If anyone's still after something like this, Lee has a set of 2 ways for sale: http://www.vx220.org...-ways-for-sale/

lol, bump, slow bump and rebound Not suprised these didn't hang around though!! Can't wait to see how the Intrax work out for you mate, let us know how they compare What sort of price are the Intrax version

Bump, slow bump and rebound

Yeah I know what each of the ways is i'm just not clear on adjustment. On two ways There is one adjuster on the shock body and one on the remote resevoir, one for bump the other for rebound. I assume with the 3 ways have some way of adjusting bump and slow bump seperately but don't know how it's done.

[techieboy]

Isn't there an adjuster within the gold adjuster on the remote reservoirs i.e. the silver centre with the slot in the top. Adjusting the main gold adjuster also turns that, unless you adjust it separately.

My biggest question would be how many people actually know how to set them up properly???

[Bumblebee]

Surely somewhere like cornering force/Hoffman's could set them up properly?

That would depend how how good the driver's feedback is.

I guess Randy could drive the car and set it up how he likes it but not necessarily how the owner likes it.

One ways are fairly easy to do, two ways are beyond me and most on here to be honest. Three ways and four ways are a dark art.

[SteveA]

When I was track testing with CF, Simon showed me the damper dyno logs from each lap and explained where and how a two way shock would give me benefits. Interesting stuff but it deffo made me think you would need those metrics to truly get benefits from that kind of setup. I'm sure a seasoned driver like Randy could feel the difference and be able to apply the correct adjustment but I doubt I'd ever get to that level without doing it day in, day out.

You guys do a great job of increasing my confidence level of ever getting the setting of these thing right. I thought that 3-way adjustable means: a great way, an even better way and the best possible way. I guess I was wrong . But you have to admit they're a great excuse to blame the set up instead of the driver. Really looking forward to receiving them and start fumbling with all these settings. But I do like the colours and the cans (OK, I admit, I'm in marketing)

[anz3001]

look the part but surely a waste of time and (alot) of money for a road car....and even for a track car unless you or a member of your 'team' knows how to set them up
