Damping doesn't do squat for the bobble head.

all "reduction" in bobble head comes from someone getting used to it.

my bobble head hasn't reduced through any of the 4 setups i've had.

and the KW's and Zeals have more of a bobble body then bobble head, it is def the seats bouncing.

I'm going to apply some brain power to this. There has to be a way to reduce the effect without ditching the seats entirely.

<--off to do some research on our seats.

you can stretch the springs in the base to help with the bounce.

I winder if I can replace them with a softer seat spring from another car. Or maybe try to do some sort of ghetto suspension seat mod.

I do like what the T2's have to offer.

I think it will come down to pricing. If those RB320s are priced nicely (and perform as we think they will), I bet both of us will go there when the time comes.

I want to try and just tie some string on the seat springs. Don't allow them to flex as much. Maybe even wire.

I was thinking zip-tie.

fullerton · 06-11-2007, 10:08 AM

that's work, but the question is: will that still stretch and allow flex?

One way to find out.

fullerton · 06-11-2007, 10:30 AM

make sure you get the thick ones. the regular width ones will snap with ease when under pressure.

Woott! Nice rims!

You're ahead of yourself. First, get off my ass and remove the seat.

I have to have the energy, and this sunburn is sapping all of it.

But I am thinking about it. I wonder if I should cross connect individual springs in the seat, or try and tighten each spring independently. Hrmmm.
