"Feel:
Where it all comes down to. Result. A few presses on the 4 corners confrims the car has become so much more stiffer. I drove. I just can't believe the difference. It's so much better than i expected. Bumps, potholes debris, sand, stones, road patches, are all neutralized by the Titan shocks. I can now practically skim over them with minimal disturbance in the cabin. Road feel has increased in a good way and the car will react well and follow the road contours. Steering response has improved while cornering and sharp turns will not mess with the Titan's Shock perfomance.
Braking and acceleration feel has also improved dramatically, the car now never squats on sharp acceleration or dive during hard braking especially braking into corners. Slalom swerves are very well managed.
High speeds on highways is also where the Titan suspension will prove its capabilities. The road feel is fantastic on tar and even on concrete roads. Road feel, road feel, road feel. Great! little up and down slopes is always a nightmare and will often shift a car right left, up and down. Not with Titans. The car is quickly absorbs the change in road contour on upslopes and quickly pulls the car back on the ground when you go down the slopes. Fantastic. Needs some getting used to since there is little travel from the shorter stroke and the car's ability to return back to "shape" so fast.
But i did feel the subtle bounce on the not so flat highways. Again, Titan was happy to remedy this. Richard suggest reducing the damping rate of the rear shocks, back to testing and it fixed it right away. "
