In this episode Rhys installs the new suspension setup in the 80. First time doing a video like this actually in front of the camera, harder then it looks :)
A bit confused, you said you have 3in springs but 13in shocks?? How does that work? I saw you got coil retainers but don't you run out of coil?? Sick vid btw
3 inch springs means 3 inch lifted springs and 13 inch shocks mean thats how much travel up in down they can go before full extention & full compression.
how much did this superior gear cost ya and what did u exactly buy also are the front shocks the 13 inch travel and 7 inch lift if so what inch are the front coils?
Thanks for watching! Front shocks are 26580 and rear is 26582, if I were to buy then again I reckon I'd get the 13" remote resi front and 12.5" remote resi rear
U sure those shocks don’t bottom out? Max closed lengths on 80s are bout 400mm those superior 13” are 450 closed and pretty sure those spacers are only 30mm so shock would bottom out
With the extention the front was exactly 450 closed, so yes, they are bottoming out currently, I'll be switching out eventually to better shocks, these were for testing, I knew I was going to have to extend the bumpstop more / go hydro bump stops, but ill need to brace the coil seat first
Can't speak about the remote res shocks but apparently they're pretty good, but I don't rate the non remote resi ones, very uncomfortable on the road, can't handle the weight of the 80 and bounces all over the road
Nah not a kit, just bought all the parts that I knew would be good for it, radius arms to correct caster, biggest shocks i could fit (based on minimum shock length on bumpstop), and just got all the other superior bits to go along with it, got the adjustable pan-hard bars second hand for cheap. Eventually will be changing to some superior extended rear lower arms to correct the rear steer you get with big flex and maybe adjustable uppers, not sure yet
Thanks for watching! No these arnt the Mars headlights, these are just the cheaper "PS" ones on ebay, they have a bunch of problems but they look cool! I've heard the Mars ones are a little bit better but still not the best
