More Comfort Please!!!!!

29th February 2008, 19:21

Right I have FK Highsport Coilovers which seem to be giving a really harsh ride (i've got the 1.1l engine in whilst the 16v turbo is being rebuilt which doesn't help the ride, being lighter etc.), even with the VTS engine in it is still a really harsh ride, more like for a track car, it'a nightmare trying to drive about town/bad surfaced roads etc. Getting to the point where it's uncomfortable and everything rattles.

Does anyone know if there is a suspension that is as comfortable as the standard suspension but with shorter springs so it's still lower than standard??

Really just wanting a comfortable ride now.

Thanks

I have a spax kit which isn't the comfiest ride ever but it's ok. I'm not sure what the best is for comfort, but I'd assume a set of adjustable dampers may help you so that you can choose how hard or soft you want the ride? Sorry I can't be of anymore help!

i've got the bilstein/eibach set, it's nice and firm, but moderately comfortable at the same time. but as said, if you want comfort you're driving the wrong car haha

Only "comfy as standard" setup ive had was Eibach 30mm springs on standard shocks on my old saxo, but it would bottom out often over harsh bumps
