Is it worth dampers?

  1. #1
    Hi guys, i know this has been covered a million times but, Im down 40mm on spax springs, i use the car daily but never drive it hard (hardly go over the limit) but at times the ride can be a bit harsh and choppy. Is it worth getting a cheap damper kit from apex. What improvments will be made. If i dont drive it that hard is it worth uprating them or is the money best spent else where?

    definately worth changing the dampers.

    You won't be able to get an Apex damper kit until the end of the year. No-one has any stock of the front dampers

    We've only got the rears also.

    Bilstein.. v v good
