parabolic ride

(1/3) > >>

way2deep:
how much softer is the ride once parabolics have been fitted to landy's...compared to coilers..thanks

Andy the Landy:
Depends what shocks are fitted :wink:  I run Rocky Mountain para's with Procomp ES9000. On road they are pretty hard - but off road superb 8)

I think the ES3000 are slightly softer.

Rich_P:
You can't expect parabolics to ride like coil springs.  However, I have found them to be nearly as bumpy as normal good springs off the tarmac, but they take the edge off the bumps.  On the tarmac, they absorb a lot of the little bumps in the road and take a huge edge off the larger bumps like pot holes.

Try moving some really heavy loads (like try and get it as close to the bump stops as you can ;) ). it really softens the springs up nicely. (ive got rocky mountains and es3000 shocks)

I've fitted some parabolics recently with ES3000 dampers. They are a lot better ride on greenlanes but not much better on tarmac with the exception that speed bumps don't slow me down so much now :wink:

The gas dampers do make a great difference on tarmac. The roadholding is far better than the standard items and twisty contry roads can be driven with more confidence now.
