Important! : Could someone spec me a suspension setup please?

2nd March 2009, 13:30

I'm looking to get a good suspension setup for my Saxo, and was wondering whether people can spec me a setup that will cost in the region of £400, although below is better if possible!

Car will mainly be for normal everyday road use, so don't want it ridiculously hard. Don't want it stupidly low either, I'd like a compromise somewhere in the middle of performance and looks if that makes sense?

As said again £400(ish) to spend, would ideally like advice on whether to get the powerflex bushes and mounts etc as well, or whether that's usually just for mainly track use cars.

Cheers Guys.

bilsteins are the ones to go for apparantly, but they might be out of your price range. spax do an kit with adjustable dampers psx i think, but ive been swayed towards an apex fixed rate kit (which is available with sax-p discount from kam)

I'd go for the Apex kit if its just for the road mate, Bilsteins will be a bit pricey for what its gonna get used for.

Cool Cheers, what about the bushes. With Sax-P discount you can get powerflex bushes from Kam for £108, do people recommend doing this, or will it make the ride even harsher etc?

Im also after some as my saxo handles like shit on wheels. its been lowerd with g-max front and back and dont know what the old owner was thinking. reeeaally hard on the bumps but leans like mad when turning? 1mine will be for track and road use, whats the best?

I think to clicks on the torsion bar and 60mm on the front front
with gmax springs and shocks depending what alloys you got
