spings and dampers

[The Monk]

has anyone start off with just springs then got a damper set after, as i want to know will the ride comfort be better if i got myself some koni dampers on the softest setting.

Sorry Im not answering the question. But is the ride to hard on your Pi 60mm?? Only as in the future I considering going to these from the 40mm.

th ride is firm and u just have to swerve for the potholes, also speed bumps are a pain the arse. but the benefits are less dive when braking (which is good as if i braked hard in the wet it is very easy to lock up, now its more stable), less roll round corners and more stable at speed. oh yeah it look the b****cks slammed to the ground!!

Errr, youll probably get the opposite of what you want? I started with the torsion bar adjusted and lowered springs on the front and it handled lovely, then went for the Koni shocks later - gave a harsher ride. But much better handling though.

If you want an armchair ride then keep your original shocks and keep replacing them every 6 months when they knacker. Or go for a harder ride with better handling and get a proper damper set for lowered springs.

i dont mind a harder ride but everytime i hit a bump or going over rough road i mentally thinkin my car gonna fall to bits
