New Shocks

I have just aquired new Spax adjustable front and rear although to be honest I would rather have had standard original shocks, however as those are unobtainable I have the Spax items. Any advice on setting them up?

Lotusbits have had some original spec rears remanufactured I believe

Re set up just set to the middle and drive, then pick your flavour up or down. I think it's 3 clicks for AVOs.

Once you've gone "too hard" you'll feel it hopping about a bit around fast bends and over potholes. As Stu says - just experiment. You'll quickly get a feel for what happens as you change settings.

Just bear in mind relatively speaking, and in extremis:

Hard front, soft rear = understeer.
Soft front, hard rear = oversteer.

Especially noticeable in the wet!
