Suspension options

Post by Dan320is »

I've been looking into what kits are available as I'm looking to change the shocks & springs on the 320. Not a great deal out there, I've found Spax do a kit with adjustable shocks with either 60, 60/40 or 40mm drop but it's £394 http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/detpro ... PID=776211

For this car the ability to adjust the shocks is wasted, just shorter shocks and springs needed really. Does anyone know of a kit or components to make my own kit up? I'm going for a 60/40 drop.

Ta.

I can hook you up with a complete Leda set up for £350. If not, just buy some lowered springs and use standard shocks.

ive got the spax psx kit. got nothing but good things to say about it.
adjusting the shocks is really good. makes the ride positive on least setting. to really tight/bone shaking for track use or even for if you have some weight in the boot its nice to up them a couple of notches.....

Mine is currently running on Motorspot Springs. Dampers are Bilstein front and Boge rear. I recently bought a set of Old New Bilstein Complete lowering kit that comes with Springs, dampers and rear axel bush. Have not fitted it nor will I likely fit this kit....sigh.....
