110 is low!

115/125 more likely I'd have thought!!!

The std ride height is 140 and thats on a 17" rim so your going to see a big difference!

I often wonder if everybody measures ride height slightly differently! Last time mine was measured at SCS it was around 95f 102r, it cannot be this low since mine looks almost identical to how fiveoclock set his up, but with slightly less rake. and I'm assured that his was set at 120r 110f by BaT. So go figure ???
I personally think this is the best look for a 16/17 setup.

[chris_uk]

Ride heights are measured from the chassis to floor.

Spot on lol

How are people finding this setup just out of curiosity? I presume this is what most people use for the road?

If it's a weekend toy it's fine. I had to use it as my daily driver for 2 months and 60miles a day... I still have nightmares

[chris_uk]

Raymond! your scaring the poor girl! 450/550 is no worse than the standard stuff, infact just send a PM to Big_Bazza99 and ask him his honest thoughts of his new GGP2's which i fitted for him this week. wound down to almost the softest the shocks would go they were superb and gripped pretty well in the wet only started to understeer when i threw it round a round about. on the track tho you would want to wind them up a little bit harder.

I'm sure gaz's are really good and there is a big price difference between the 2 tbh but my heart says go for nitrons and my head says go for gaz's but seen as Chris is building them to his spec il stick with the nitrons just hope they arn't too harsh

[Rosssco]

So I guess this post now has nothing to do with Cornering Force anymore...

[davemate]

If you plan on doing a fair few trackays, investment in a set of 1 way nitrons could be justified, but the Gaz Golds are a perfectly capable shock for road and track use, though there has been some question over reliability on the old version. GeorgeBC has had issues.

/ i mentioned the war once but i think i got away with it.
