senna_T Forged Member Lifetime Members 15,818 Member For: 18y 14d Gender: Male Location: SW Sydney Posted 28/01/10 09:49 AM Share Posted 28/01/10 09:49 AM Some stronger shocks - like a heavy duty Bilstein - will reduce it, however unless you have very low grip tyres or very high HP there will always be a certain amount of axle tramp. Its a hard thing to get rid of and still have a compliant suspension set-up.The rear Bilstein shocks for utes are $550 from us plus postage or installation depending whichever you need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endangered Member 4 Member For: 15y 30d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 29/01/10 12:03 PM Share Posted 29/01/10 12:03 PM I just picked up a FG XR6t sedan manual, and it tramps in the wet, although in the dry I don't have that problem, I'm looking at some new tyres (18"), any suggestions.. I heard Maxxis are good for the money, although anything at around the $300-350 mark would be OK.Will new tyres help the situation? They have about 2000 k to go.

I was thinking sh*t, I cant do skids... Then I realised I never did skids in a straight line any ways. Woo hoo for skids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endangered Member 4 Member For: 15y 30d Gender: Male Location: Sydney NSW Posted 30/01/10 01:03 PM Share Posted 30/01/10 01:03 PM Quite right, I don't have the tramp problem with any drift action! Still need some good advice on new tyres for it though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
