I've done the damper conversion on mine which made a big improvement in itself but I still need to fit the radius arms I have hopefully by the summer. as long as events don't conspire against me again :roll:

I'm going for radius arms only and keeping the lever arms with 40 weight oil.... They're not fitted yet though so can't say how good it will be :oops:

Well then, I can say that despite a revolting and anti-social amount of power, the car did not exhibit any signs of axle tramp, and went round corners like it was on rails.

Fun, it was, and quickly...

Its worth noting though before people splash out on radius arms and tele shocks that a standard 1098 will quite happily tramp with knackered springs but will struggle to get any hop with new or refurbished springs, and they don't need to be 7 leaf! Tired springs are usually why the cars tramp, unless they've been hotted up of course.
