Spax Trakspax

[Bob Davis <bob@segNET.COM>]

Ok, here't the skinny on the new Spax coil-over adjustable threaded
ueber-dampfer.

--they have adjustable spring platforms with a lot of thread for a wide
range of ride height adjustment.
--Adjustable damping via top adjusters on the front, and a rotary knob at
the bottom of the rear telescopic dampers (this is on the Golf application)
--They are designed to use 2.25" diameter springs (a motorsport industry
standard?) which give the choice of a wide variety of rates and free length.
-- They cost about GBP700 (with or without VAT, I don't know), and are not
"off the shelf" items.
--There's a lower spec version called the RSX finished in Spax yellow (the
Trakspax are anodized gold)

Don't know where they are available, although Ron's Parts (the NA
distributor, IUD) can probably help.

Spax phone number in the UK is 01869 244771, maybe one of the UK listers
can provide more/better info for us.

"The Golf" (a UK publication) rate them highly.  They've fitted them to a
VR6 Mk2 Golf and claim that they are not too bad on the street and work
well on the track.  Big money, but might be worth it if you track your car.
