handling

<< < (2/5) > >>

lee celtic:
I lifted mine by 2" but the new springs are much firmer and new damper also transformed the handling the body roll was drastically reduced and I can corner much faster and with more confidence however nearly four years on I think it is time for a new set as the roll is coming back slowly.. :roll:

I think the difference between petrol and diesel springs is that the diesel ones are of higher stiffness to cope with the heavier engine...

flipper:
like i said befor all this is new to me im more used to lowerin not lifting lol if i wanted to do a lift what parts would i need ive seen lifting kits is everything inclueded in these ????

lee celtic:
you don't need to lift just get some police spec springs (£50) standard height and these will make a big difference...

Disco Matt:
Lifting it can make things worse - it's more than just longer springs and shocks. You may need things like castor correction radius arms, cranked trailing arms, different propshafts and new brake lines depending on how big a lift you have in mind.

Mine was transformed beyond recognition when I fitted a set of polybushes and some new shocks (de Carbon gas ones). Still standard height and it does still lean, but it feels a lot more collected and is far more predictable now.

flipper:
was only thinkin of a 2 inch lift as would like to take it off road
