    No adjustment but that's what I wanted and it's transformed the car. It handles amazingly now . Your welcome to have a run in the car if you want. Very compliant over rougher roads and sticks to the road

    Thanks Craig, I'll take you up on that, I'm keeping an open mind. I'm not bothered about having loads of adjustment necessarily, I probably won't use it or know how to, but won't say no if I can find I decent set up. I really just want to refresh my 79,000 mile Sports Plus suspension. I find it quite crashy and it must be well worn by now.

    Ooops, sorry Craig.
    Have you lowered the cutting height since last year ?

    Once you've got that mileage on a car, a suspension refresh is probably the best thing you can do.

    Ball joints, bushes, droplinks etc should all be done to get maximum benefit - you've virtually got a new car then. From memory £2k would cover the lot

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    Raised it - the last setup was chewing the grass up, not giving good stripes

    Brilliant thank you, I've already changed my ball joints and some bushes, so a portion of the way there already :-) I tend to drip feed my mods to avoid expenditure detection!
