Just a question on your Rekon front shocks. I can see the blue low speed compression adjuster in the pics you put up earlier. Is there a single adjuster on them or is there a rebound or high speed compression located in another position?
I always drooled over the DMS gear on other people's track cars and dreamt of getting it for mine one day but I have recently sold the car so getting a set for the Triton would be nice.
Cheers

Hi Shane , and thans for the compliments!
You have every right to drool over the dms gear cos truth be told i drool over them still myself!
Personally IMO i think the suspension is pretty well crafted and having this little extra ,offers something that the conventional kits don't.
To be honest with you at first i thought the hole dampener adjustment was gunna be a wank but i got them anyway...
Look to be honest, I'm not one to say i know everything there is too know about these cars but 1: for me driving is something I've been doing with love and passion for a very long time, though i may not know how the suspension set up completely works i do know this... When the dial is turned all the way up (clock wise) the vehicle handles and allows me to drive it like an actual car on the road with the ability to take corners etc with a lot more aggression without the thing wanting to body roll etc.
Once you take it off road i wind it all the way down to soft (while deflating tyres, it take literally 1 minute) i find that the car just soaks up the bumps heaps better, becomes plusher, and feels as though the suspension is moving in a completely different manner to the body. Hard to explain but you notice the difference once youve had the privellage of driving it around on the road stiff then bush completely soft.
If you were touring etc on corrugated roads or even gravel type roads you dont even have to go that soft, just take it as far down as possible and then give it about 7-8 clicks upwards towards stiff to give you a mixture of both .
I may be wrong when i say this but to me its as though the front end works like the rear shock does on a dirt bike. But i dont know if thats rebound or compression so you'd have to ask matty from monster rides which one it does but i'd probably say dampener adjustment.
All i know is i've got it in and i couldnt be happier man on or off the tarmac.
Where you from ?
If your from Melbourne you're more than welcome to come check it whenever you want and see how it goes.
