Went out and did some more testing yesterday with and without the absorber kit as a result of some followup discussions with ERA and a few of the people asking about the kit again.
Without Kit - retest:
- Had to set the shocks sooooo stiff to try and elimiate it,with the kit removed, and the car rode and drove like crap. Even my better half noticed how much worse and uncomfortable the car was to drive with the shocks set so stiff as my last-ditch alternative test. It did help to eliminate the hop barely, but nearly as much as with the absorber kit on and doing its job. To me, adjusting the Spax shocks this stiff goes against the quality ride and normal handling of an ERA; just to eliminate wheel hop.
With Kit:
- Returned the shocks to a softer settings, for a softer more balanced ride, and at the same time did not get the any more violent wheel hop from a roll/stab of the throttle. Car rides nice again, handles well, and I don't have to worry about accidentally breaking parts as a result of violent Jag/IRS wheel hop any longer...
Kits/Availability:
We are proceeding with making up three sets, in a few weeks. If there are any more questions, feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks to all for your inquiries and feedback. Its been a cool little temporary project to keep me occupied from trying to buy other cars to tinker with; for now.
