·For the past few weeks I have been trying to narrow down my choices on Suspension. After reading all of the posts and communicating with Blade directly, Drummond look to be a good bet. My application would be fast road and the odd track day and I guess the absolute requirement would be to minimize roll and have high quality dampers that can actually keep the tyres in touch with the tarmac (and not just the edge of the tyre) all of the time. I also want to get rid of all understeer (which is probably a stretch).
After talking to several companies - all who have completely different opinions, I am completely confused.
I am being told that ALL high performance competition struts (including Drummond??) are not suitable for a road applicaiton due to the fact they are not fitted with seals which prevent dirt and gravel from entering the units. The lack of road quality seals also means high maintenance as the units would have to be cleaned and kept dirt free. I was also told of one Evo owner (black Evo 6 from the Greater Manchester area) who fitted Drummond struts and the units (bushes??) failed after 1500 miles - anyone on the forum??
I am being offered fast road kits from Proflex but just don't know if these units will be up to the hard job I have in store.
Constructive help and advice would be much appreciated.
