softer dampers/springs? was created by Raccoon

Posted 11 years 1 month ago #130322

I'm wondering if I should change Morris' springs / dampers to a more comfortable version (02 TF)?

Are they available from different manufacturers? Which would you recommend?

Do I have to change dampers and springs or just one of both? Anything special I have to pay attention to?

:-?

I would say if your dampers have done more than 35k miles change them also and the bolts too

If I recall correctly the original MGR design plan was to have Bilstiens as standard but costs got in the way and they fitted cheaper dampers that were too stiff.
