Wouldn't better shocks be what you should be looking at ?

Could be thanks. Have actually ordered some but wondered whether this will actually sort the problem and thought I' could kill two birds etc

In some cases lowering springs will make the ride worse, because the suspension movement & control has to be compressed into a shorter distance of travel, so has to be stronger and quicker acting (= harsher).

you can get away with a 50mm drop before you need to change springs. Cobra & H & R springs are cheap. you can get stance+ sets which include the springs for not a lot more. You should also consider changing the top mount and the drop links. If you are on facebook join the t5/t6 mods facebook group

Thanks. Bought a cheap set of front and rear shocks on ebay including mounting hardware so will try it out.

H&R ARB's can also help with the wallowing :-) |
