Im doing a trackday on Saturday on my NC30 and I need to firm the rear suspension up a bit. Does anyone have a C spanner that fits the shock on one of those in the Auckland area I can borrow for a hour or so?

cheers

If you can't find a C spanner, a piece of aluminium square section bar works okay as a drift

I found it took an absolute eternity to turn it around with the C spanner, it's just so awkward and stiff in there. Found it way easier with a hammer and long pointed file. Tell me if you actually notice a difference because i didn't even after winding it up a significant amount, though maybe it had just had it.

Its because the spring rate is too light and no amount of extra preload is going to alter that limitation.
