twin shocks
« on: January 03, 2009, 07:31:34 »
 :lol: I'm considering putting twin shocks all round on my disco. Can anybody tell me the advantages and disadvantages of doing this.
it may have the same chassis as a range rover, but it has the corrosion protection of a metro!

thanks i've had a look but it doesn't really answer my questions, i could do with an answer from somebody that has used the set up in competition.

Why do you feel that you need twin shocks?

I have used both twin shocks and now single Milner Varidamps on my racer so have experience of both, what is the problem that you want to fix?  What do you use the car for?

I want to be able to attack the ground at speed and not feel too much in the cab. I also want the vehicle to cope with high impacts on landing. Basically I would like to drive my disco like I ride my moto-x bike. Some sort of Dakar style racer.
