Title: Estate suspension
Post by: prestigesec on 03 May 2008, 09:40:43
Need to replace drivers side suspension how much are these units roughly? Also was maybe thinking of lowering the car slightly is this poss and if so how low can you take it? I have my tools and cable in the boot so this needs to be taken in to consideration. How much would this cost anyone done it?

obviously, need to change in axle pairs.

genuine non self levelling, around £40 (r) or £50(f) per shock, mv6 or other.

Depending on car, may need to change springs to lower

Define better.

Being rwd, it doesn't need the rock hard suspension of cavmobiles.  And its a luxory cruiser.  MV6 is slightly stiffer/slightly lower.

MV6 shocks and springs available from dealer, or most factors.  If you want much stiffer, consider the 3rd party sports stuff, obviously at the expense of ride comfort

Mv6 is a good setup and combination. Less roll than standard setup. I would not want to go harder as ride will be affected.

As mentioned rwd cars can have softer suspension than fwd and still be better in the corners.

Being pre-facelift I would just fit mv6 shocks
