Suspension for the coupe

Post by NoobCannon »

RIGHT, fed up with my Gmax front shocks and springs now as they are noisey as hell and seem to hard for normal driving [banging over every single bump] and too soft for all out rinsing [the car seems to bounce]

what suspension would you all recomend?. i would like to keep my 40mm down as the "i could smuggle 20 immigrants in my arches look" just dont do it for me :).

Am also interested in views , i have 40mm avo springs on standard shocks and its dreadful!

I feel every bump in the road at low speeds and it gets a bit hairy at high speeds when you hit a few dips , it bounces like its on hydraulics , had a few sh*t ya pants moments :(
