MT2 Suspension Settings
i havent seen much posted in regard to mt2 suspension... so i was wondering what u guys recommend and for what surfaces. i have a few sets of springs and various silicone fluid to try out on mine and will post results at the weekend, weather permitting and if any interest is shown in this thread that is...
currently i have the ultra lx front shocks all round, 50 or 55wt fluid in all 4 and stock pistons, with stock ofna black springs on the front and the heavier purple springs on the rear. lower mounts are modded to be very outboard on all, fronts are very inboard at the top, with the rears in the middle top of the towers. ARO towers front and back. shafts are sitting level. its set "square" at the back and a little toe in and -2 degees of camber at the front. all of that gives me about 1.5" of droop, 1.75" of up travel, with 1.5" ground clearance on low profile tmaxx tyres. absolutely no real idea if any of that droop or uptravel is sensible or not...
this works very well on smooth surfaces for braking and grip off the line and tmaxx wheels n tyres dont upset it but they understeer a lot, its great with skinny buggy wheels tho, still only on smoother stuff, but very neutral and grippy. but its too stiff and slow for rougher offroad stuff. understeer/push is my main issue so im gonna try softer springs and lighter oil/fluid to get a happy compromise - in the front especially.
soooo - which shocks, springs, oil and mounting points etc do u use and how does it handle on what type of surface?
