subirg Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 So having recently bought my second caterham (an R500 Duratec) I now find myself with 3 sets of dampers and need help to work out which ones are best for the track!One set of dampers are the standard black Bilsteins. These I will keep as spares.The other two sets of dampers are two different versions of the fat Bilsteins. One set is mounted upside down and is all silver - these were supplied by Caterham when I upgraded my R400 Duratec to race suspension a few years ago. The other set is mounted the same way as the black Bilsteins and has the silver body with a blue Bilstein label round one end - these are the dampers currently sold by Caterham as Race dampers but are cheaper than the all silver ones.So - does anyone know the difference between the two sets of race Bilsteins? Which is best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark w Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Get them dyno'd .I suspect that you will find that they are " soft " compared to aftermarket adjustable dampers .As for what's best ..... how longs a piece of string . What spring rates are you proposing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
