I have a dry suspension and is very bumpy. How can I get a smoother ride? |

New Shocks + Cones + 10" Wheels with soft rubber ie. A008's.. is about the best you are going to get without going hydro.. |

Haha..move somewhere with smoother roads..that wouldn't be anywhere here..
Seriously though, it is a mini..i wouldn't expect too much, though mine is pretty good after i replaced the cones. Doesn't 'jolt' you anymore on a big bump, you notice them still, but it doesn't 'hurt'...i suppose at almost twice the thickness and soft rubber it's gotta make a difference. |

I find my hydro to be a little bumpy, but if I drive fast enough I dont notice after a while

Maybe some nice new rubber cones then? Where is the cheapest to buy? |

As you are driving in Tassy..I'd say the cones have saged so they need replacing.. Beffa I'd say your riding on the bumpers stops and the Hydro system is low..I think I worded that nicely ..it almost came out the wrong way |

ah....welll,,,,another candidate for my "soft Hi-los" I make a set of small foot hi-los that make your dry suspended mini feel like a hydro they are beautiful Billett machine grade alloy & only $160 per set of 4 you`ll need 2 x hydro rear suspension rods to fit the 2 rear ones & i`d also fit a new set of Nylon cups & call kits while you`re there easy-peasy & soft as 
BEAUTIFULL aren`t they???????????????

hey does the size of the hilo really make a difference in how it performs?? i have some "heavy duty" ones that have been galvanised. they fit nicely..i feel a slight difference in the back. (not done the front yet) One problem i have with them is that the bolt doesnt screw all the way in. It needs to have thread all the way to the head of the bolt..slightly dissapointing considering i payed 50 dollars for each of them. |

It is the contact surface of the hi-lo onto the rubber. A big surface, especially one that is shaped towards the cone, will give a stiffer spring rate. Small contact surface and/or curved away from the cone = softer. |
