As my rallye restorations has progressed it has become clear that the little french piece of shi*e is on need or more tlc than i first though...I will now be replacing all the suspension parts, starting with solid mounts. I then want to change the shocks but i will be retaining the standard ride height. Can anyone offer any suggestions on shock choice & replacement standard height front springs please? |

Bilstein B4/ Eibach are the usual recommendations, not sure if Eibach do a regular height spring, but likely.________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |

Replace everything for decent standard stuff, add a stiffer rear ARB and good tyres. Then take it from there - it will be a load better than shagged old stuff thats for sure.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

I have just fitted a set of uniroyal rainsport 2 to the car, so tyres are fine.It is mainly the back end that is worn out, so I figured to change all 4 shocks for b4's, modify my old beam mounts into solid ones. Take if from there once i see how the car drives? |
