Post by: ted_one on 07 June 2014, 14:52:01: I've only ever had one Omega on standard springs,and in all honesty I didn't think the ride was that comfortable,I find the car with Irmy springs and B4's a nice compromise,car number two is the same set up as VXL V6 has, and that's good as well,car three,has a standard police spec MV6 set up and again that's probably for me the best as I don't have to slow down for speed bumps etc. ;)
