I want to change the suspension in my TTG, the current King springs are too harsh. I'm after the factory TTG or F6X spring rate and ride height. What are you're recommendations?

Thanks.

Althought the F6X tuning turned out much better for ride and handling the rates were only up 10% on the base model.
We will be using higher rates to improve the handling futher but will not give you guys a harsh ride or something that is in your face at all. The dampers are now in the air and on the way and will be doing a series of damper tests on the dyno first. Fitting trials to follow and then the ride tuning.

We aim to get the best ride quality for the Tezza and a real fun handling package.
Cheers

How much higher rates? The Kings I have make the vehicle feel like a go cart, completely unacceptable. I have a SZ TX Territory diesel, the ride in that is great. Something around that spring rate and damping would be great.

Hi Guy's,

We should have the first production batch made in the next couple of weeks after confirming everything is good on the test car. As you see in the pictures, we have used the original yoke so I am sure it will bolt up fine and the rears have all the same mounts, just slightly longer.

It's hard to understand what your car feels like F6 Concorde but may be due to the dampers with the stiffer springs. We will select the rates based on the handling and ride we would like to achieve but hard to say now what the rates will be until we start testing. Our dampers can be very digressive so even with heavier spring rates can get OE level ride.
The full kit will be the same as the GT kits which are $2000.
