SSC Stylus RT damper length question
Paul A - 18/2/18 at 07:49 PM

I am on with the repair of my damaged stylus and now it's on its wheels, the ride height is way high, and i think the bottom ballpoint is binding on full droop.

The car is an RT and as such is wider than standard, with the rockers having been extended along with the bottom wishbones and rack arms. My question is, how long should the front dampers be? Any ideas?

I can measure the dampers on mine one at some point this week. Someone over at clubstylus.be might be able to help you sooner though.

I've put 11" on the front and 14" on the rear with the dipped rear lower arms which is ok if you run the same size wheels and tyres all round.

Thanks Guys, looks like I need a set of dampers then as the rears are 15"!
I think they will have to wait a little while until the repair fund has been replenished

My bad, the rears are 15" not 14" as stated earlier

Ah right, the rears on my car are 15" but the platforms are wound up a good 1.5", so I was hoping to get away with just front dampers, and it now seems I might!
