Ok Riddle me this.
Set up for motorkhana
Running hydro suspension, comp bumps and std's on the front. GAZ Shocks.
Had the car sitting at std ride height and it handled terribly, I have lowered it down now so that the suspension is actually just sitting on the front bumps. Car now handles like a dream.
Why?

Also, the problem i have is that the car now can't run 12's as they scrape while turning. Is it worth fitting comp bumps on the front as well. and have the car sitting on those, which will keep the ride height higher but alleviating the hydro suspension from doing anything.

Remember this is for motorkhana handling. NOT road use. So answers for the purpose would be great. Should be an interesting topic.

Cheers
Aaron

hi Aaron, When the hydro was pumped up was it correctly evacuated before re-pressurising?
I had a problem with my car once when it still had air in the pipes.

Hmm, very good point.
Maybe time to redo the hydro.
