i am wondering how much difference there is in ride. witch brand spax/gaz etc you have and what the difference is when the shocks are set to hard and soft. are they worth the money or should i just get rebound ajustable shocks. how about the fast road coil springs. i have a bad back so i need a smoother ride but i don't want to sacrafice handling. |

minis won Bathurst and the Monte Carlo rally on standard hydrolastic suspension, which gives the smoothest ride.... and won't cost you any extra |

But some of us want that extra edge Simon, and dont forget that little thing called R&D which allows progress and improvements to take place. I doubt if coilovers would have been readily accessible back in the mid-60's Yes, I am running coilovers - GAZ. Have not tested them on the road yet. Stay tuned. |

I have coil overs in the Midas and we also use them in the Clubman sportcars, if you want a smooth ride don't even bother thinking of coilovers , they do a great job as a performance combo but for handling they are very hard and stiff and that does not equate to a smooth ride If its a van I believe the good doc is going to do a hydro van soon and that would be probably the best all rounder Jon |
