Tuxman shock settings

[Air Support]

Hi all

The current Tuxman shock vs exhaust settings got me thinking that there are now quite a number of us running the Tuxman shocks and I was wondering what settings most people are running with on the road after what is now a couple of years of experience with them.

Unfortunately I don't get as much time with the car as I'd like so haven't quite got to settings I'm fully happy with

I'm running a set of what I think are an early set of the version 2 shocks with the slightly higher spring rates than the originals on a 3R with M400 suspension geometry adjustment by Jetstream in case it makes a difference

All thoughts gratefully received - please let me know what settings you are using

Thanks

Hi Andrew , firstly shocks setting are a very personal thing and what works for 1 person can be to soft/hard for somebody else !!! Also tyre pressures and tyre make can also make a difference .

On my Michelincups I run 18psi front and 22 psi rear tyre pressures and on road I run , these are cold pressures .

Front
black nob 8 clicks from soft
Red nob 6 clicks from fully soft

Rear
Black nob 8 clicks from fully soft
Red nob 9 clicks from fully soft .

On track I running fully hard on both settings .

Corner weighting can also make a big difference , if you have not had this done you are best to make sure all the spring platforms are adjusted equally from the top of the shock !! This is important as wrongly adjusted springs can upset the damping effect !!

The rear shocks today are running a higher damp rate if you feel you want the rear stiffer Protech will service and adjust the damping settings for a sensible charge .

Hi Tux

Thanks for the quick response

Intersting settings which I'll look forward to trying at the weekend

Can you confirm which on your shocks the black and red are as the early prototype set you were working with were reversed from standard

So mine are black= bump, red= rebound

Thanks again

[TuxMan]

yes mate , I now have the same setup !!!

what tyres are you running ?

Hi Tux

Very interseting settings and very different from where I am now with bump less than rebound front and back

Tyres wise I'm on Toyo R888s

[TuxMan]

I can feel quite a difference with the toyo's on , what pressures you running cold ??
The toyo tyre is quite heavy compared to the cups so you might find another click harder than my settings will work ! More so on the rear than the front though !

Hi Tux

Running at 18 and 27 pressures

Just got a quick run with your initial recommended settings. Couldn't give it full test but seems a lot better so a great starting point to work from

Thanks for your help

Still interested to hear what other users are running as well

Good news mate , drop the rear toyo's to 22 psi cold , see how that feels . Do 50 miles before adjusting . Let's things settle !
