Twin shocks/Dampeners

<< < (2/2)

clbarclay:
Typical dampers just control the rate of movement, so fitting more or firmer dampers will mean it rolls just as far but takes longer to rol so in a short corner then the vehicle may not have rolled to its full extent, but in a longer corner the vehicle should still roll just as far. The one problem is you can end up with ovedamped suspension for the vehicle which can be detremental to ride comfort and road hiolding, particuarly on rougher terrain.


My experiance is that most Land Rovers are under damped and too softer sprung as standard for optimum on road handling, so double/higher rate dampers could well improve the handling.
