ahh i replied but didnt appear so here goes again...

 

i had a couple days off to work on my Sup and discovered a few things on the suspension + other 'surprises' (i only had mine a few months too!):

 

1) my shocks are non-height adjustable so gonna be forever low

2) the deep thudding every time i go over a bump is the aftermarket exhaust banging underbody - not the suspension which is a relief...alls i gotta do is secure exhaust

3) my ride is tough too but if you open bonnet and boot you can see at the top of the absorbers there is a screw type thing that you can turn with hands or allen key - click them all the way clockwise and you should have a dampened ride.

4) a 4 point wheel alignment + correction work is gonna cost me GBP98 i.e. analysis and work to make wheels true - check the inner part of your front tyres cos mine are pretty worn compared to the rest.

5) find a garage with a 'pit' instead of ramps cos this is ideal for lowered cars with bodykits - used to be the norm in the 'ol days' instead of ramps.

 

Hope this helps.

I can recommend a guy in Wembley...all they do is suspension and alignments.

 

Ok cheers, well if you have his details that would be handy then, it's not too far from me. When I get round to getting it checked I'll take a drive up that way, worth a trip to get a decent job done :)
