--- Quote from: "dave_2A_2.25Turbo" ---I went for the Chris Perfect paras and es3000s - total transformation.

I got about a 2" lift at the back, and about 4" at the front - the old front springs were so bad that the old girl was virtually sitting on the bumpstops.

i did the same except with es1000, now wish i had gone for the es9000 as they are slightly longer i believe and it is the shocks that limit by axle articulation now.

The result is unbelevable,

What you shall notice is that the driverside shat sit abit lowever now probley but don't worry about it, they just always seem to do it for some reason, As long as u remember to park the correct way on the slope, you shal never notice it!!!

Does it really make that much difference?, I am currently running CP 2 leaf springs with es1000s, but i feel they are too soft, that when i get any weight in the back it sits down. Would change from 1000s to 3000s make it more 'weight resistant so to speak?' The front it beautiful but the back is low.

il have to agree with you on that.

They are two soft,

when i brought mine from chris perfect he said if you do alot of off-roading they are the best however, i think, for what most people do, the 3000 are far better, a mate has just put them on his and they are far better!!

however, if mine is leaning one way or the other, with the 1000, at least you can just pick up the body and watch it extend out again!! hehe

rustprooflandyracer:
Would it be worth leaving the 1000s on the front and putting 3000s on the rear? would it alter the handling dramatically? would you notice the difference in offroading using the 3000s instead of the 1000s?

cheers Matt

the dampers wont affect the ride height of the vehicle, only its resistance to bouncing. if you put something heavy in the back, it is going to sit lower.
