small bore threaded shocks on cougar??
 

what are peoples opinions of these on a cougar as i have big bores (and a full set spare so its just a brain wave iv had) but it can be a little twitchy at speed and i have acquired some threaded small bores from a cat sx and was thinking maybe they could improve it.

it was a thought due to the car being so light and needing less force for weight transfer onto the shocks therefore small bores (in my head) seem to be a better option

also does anyone know the spring rates compared to the big bores and do they run slightly softer/harder with having less oil to move?

your help will be much appreciated guys

I'd expect small bore shocks to make the car more twitchy and agile. Generally speaking big bore shocks always "deaden" the car a little.

dont work very well matts tried it out doors,

no worries cheers guys

I think Johns been running the small shocks on both his cars and likes them.
It might be worth asking him what oils etc hes using

john? be good to have a few opinions. may give them a go this friday

John is Spenner on oople

i prefered mine on astro @ torch , im yet to try indoors
maybe friday/sunday @ taplow

So does a smaller shock equate to a similar effect as a big bore with a piston with a low number of holes?

The other thing to consider is that the smaller shocks might feel better because of the springs, not the shock.

I know I've sold a LOT of TLR springs for use on Schumacher big-bores, I use them sometimes, they seem linear - perhaps more similar to the 'old' schumacher skinny springs?

the car is very drivable and good on big bores but for me it feels the same as the tc did , lazy. i know there are piston changes and oil changes that can componsate but too light it bottoms out , too heavy it doesnt ride the bumps .

well small bores worked amazing for me and i wont be going back at all!
