Suspension upgrade part 2
After listening to the advice on here I jumped in and visited glen lewis and together we decided what would be the best option for me, glen is a very friendly man and very clued up on what's best to use. So new old man emu springs and dampers plus improved top and bottom mounts. Only took about 5 hours to change all 4 corners even the bottom shock nuts came off with out too much of a fight lol, big cheer for rachet spanners. Am very happy with the results as the ride is vastly improved but it also highlights how knackered my 17 year old suspension was . I how highly recommend glen lewis to anyone who needs a suspension upgrade.

After a week or so driving with the new suspension its so much better, cornering around roundabouts is a breeze no more leaning over too much, and its improved the steering too as the response is greatly improved. Makes me wonder why i did not replace the suspension a long time ago lol.
