Suspension

Postby RS_-_1800 on Thu Mar 09, 2006 12:37 pm

Hi guys

I am looking to upgrade the suspension on my RS 1800. I would ideally like to lower it 35m and I had been thinking of getting a Spax suspension kit. Can anyone tell me anything more about this, such as what the ride will be like with the new kit on. And if anyone has any other recomendations of a suspension set up I could go with, then that would be good

Thanks

Got the fixed rate Spax on my fez,For the money i rate it highly,gives good road holding,
Only downside is the ride is very hard,But who buys uprated suspension for comfort :wink:

I've thought about this aswell (by the by I have a mk3.5 rs1800 with a little over 70k and can onyl assume its running tired standard suspension).

Thing is roads my ways have potholes and bumps and generally uneven surfaces so I want something that handles but also is nice and comfortable.

I've decided to just by new original ford springs and dampers all round since I'm most likely experiencing a sloppy ride due to age of the components rather than the original quality.

Sorry for the essay but if your car is around that mileage mark and theres no histoty to suggest these components have been changed it may be something to thing about :)
