Title: Sports lowered chassis?
Post by: eric the cowman on 05 April 2011, 11:42:21
How do I know if my 2001 3.2 Elite saloon has a sports lowered chassis? I am about to buy new dampers front and rear (and whatever else). Doing this because the square speed humps are ripping the exhaust off if I straddle them. Our local council have stopped filling pot holes and are instead install speed humps.

Elite should be self-levelling suspension. Check rear shocks for an airline connection. Only MV6 had sports suspension as standard.

Thanks Rob, yes mine has self levelling suspension so I now know not to buy LSC items.

But there were some cars with an identity crisis around 2001 or so... Best bet would be a polite PM to Jimbob with your Reg Number asking him to check the database :y

Oh and at the moment there is an extra 10% off TC prices on Disc Kits, Shocks and springs.
