The cheaper ones suffer with rust really quickly as well as the lack of damping. I have used KYB struts recently on other motors including my lads mitsi colt - Improved the ride over OEM no end, firmed it all up nicely without compromising on comfort. They also worked well on my Kwak MX bike 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first car was a mk2 triumph vitesse, tin top. 2litre 6 straight, twin carb and it had negative camber that would kick the back end out at the slightest provocation, like turning into a junction!!

nictriumph Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 yeah those vitesse and herald are bit funny on handling,,its the rear cross-axle leaf spring layouts (crap idea) bit more research and design would of helped it alot first triumph i bought was 2000 mk1 estate which needed welding in all areas it was 1966 made,gunmetal grey and blue interior it handled very well once tuned up independent rear axle,rear wheel drive manual overdrive(when it worked) was lovely then sold it on as it was far to big for me and the misses so bought browny my dolomite1300,in fact now come to think of it i had had triumphs for 14years ,before triumphs i was a ford man..cortina mk2 1600e ratlook and ruff n ready.......but now impreza has come along and i love it cant wait to start work on it..get that flat-4 feeling going 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
